Description
In the winter of 1282, a mysterious series of deaths rocks Tyndal Priory. Seven abbots arrive at the priory, each hoping to secure a bishopric, but their journey is cut short by a gruesome murder. As the heavy snows isolate the priory and village, Prioress Eleanor must navigate the treacherous web of alliances and rivalries among the abbots. As Sister Anne investigates the cause of death, she uncovers a complex puzzle that leads her to question not just who, but also why. With tensions running high, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems in this medieval setting. Brother Thomas joins Sister Anne in the investigation, plumbing the depths of the priory's kitchens and medical facilities to uncover the truth. This is the 13th installment in Priscilla Royal's Medieval Mysteries series, a unique blend of historical insight and mystery that draws inspiration from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.
