I really liked this one. The characters and situation grabbed my interest from the get-go. I learned a great deal about medieval village laws and life in the midst of a good story with characters I could care about. And it turns out the cases in the manor court at the beginning all come from actual medieval cases. Reading The Reeve's Tale made me reevaluate the author and led me to look for another in the series.

Sister Frevise mysteries sure do start slowly, but this one picks up very quickly, and I am getting more used to the main characters in the books. I especially enjoyed the Sister Thomasina character this time.

And for a first for me, I picked up on who dunit before it was announced, so this made it more enjoyable than normal.
