Description

The Fifth Matthew Bartholomew Chronicle by Susanna Gregory The winter of 1353 has been a bleak one, with a fever outbreak among the poorer townspeople and the country still recovering from the aftermath of the plague. Tensions between the town, Church, and University are running high, as the increasing reputation and wealth of the Cambridge colleges cause unease among the local population. When three members of the University community die under suspicious circumstances, Matthew Bartholomew is called upon to investigate. As he delves deeper into the case, Matthew discovers that the murders are linked to a series of events in the village of Grundisburgh, Suffolk, where he is visiting with a party from the college. The arrival of Unwin, an unworldly scholar, is meant to bring stability to the community, but his murder sets off a chain of events that threatens to destabilize the entire town. Can Matthew work out the real motive behind the murders and bring justice to the victims? With its rich historical setting and intricate plot, The Fifth Matthew Bartholomew Chronicle is a gripping mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
