4.5*
Who would have thought a book about a bunch of monks would enthrall me so much.
Really enjoyed this tale of monks, murder and religious turmoil. The writing is so effortless you find yourself completely absorbed and thinking, 'just a few more pages'. Well written, well paced medieval whodunnit. ...more
