The Mansions of Murder
by Paul Doherty

October, 1381. Brother Athelstan is summoned to Queenhithe to investigate the murder of a priest found stabbed to death inside his own locked church. He also discovers an empty coffin and a ransacked money chest. Who would commit murder inside a holy church? Who would spirit away a corpse the night before the funeral – and who would be brave enough to steal treasure belonging to the most feared gangleader in London?

Reviews

As usual, Doherty plays fair and enhances the whodunit plot with the violent politics of the time

Publishers Weekly

A clever mystery neatly woven into a historically accurate rendering of life in a truly hellish London
