The Mad Monk Of Gidleigh (Last Templar Mysteries 14)

Alone in his isolated, windswept chapel on the edge of Dartmoor, who could blame the young priest, Mark, for seeking affection from the local miller's daughter, Mary But when Mary's body is found brutally stabbed, Mark is the obvious suspect, and the discovery that she was pregnant seems to confirm his guilt. Called in to investigate, Baldwin Furnshill and Bailiff Simon Puttock soon begin to have their doubts. Could it not have been one of Mary's many admirers who murdered her in a fit of jealousy Or her father, the miller, who is acting in an increasingly disturbed manner And what exactly is the local Baron trying to hide Will they be able to find the murderer before he strikes again

"Memorable characters, steadily absorbing period background...a commendable achievement."
"Nicely detailed and tightly argued, with involving and memorable characters. The whole series belongs in any collection where historicals are popular."
