Description

The winter of 1353 has been appallingly wet. A fever outbreak amongst the poorer townspeople adds to the growing unease in the country, still reeling from the aftermath of the plague. As tensions between the town, Church and University escalate due to the increasing reputation and wealth of the Cambridge colleges, Matthew Bartholomew is called upon to investigate a series of mysterious deaths. The victims all died from drinking poisoned wine, and as Matthew delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of criminal activity that threatens to implicate his own relatives, friends and colleagues. With the situation in the town spiralling out of control, Matthew must solve the case before it's too late. A gripping mystery set against the complex backdrop of medieval Cambridge, A Deadly Brew is the fourth installment in the Matthew Bartholomew Chronicle series.
