Great book!

Jecks wrote a very descriptive setting of a medieval castle and tournament for this 'who donut' multiple murder mystery. Including the medieval theme/train of thought in the end to explain the murders. Very interesting book and I would love to read the rest of his series of books.

Adult reading - very bloody story.

There are many different characters and complications in this tale. Notwithstanding, it is one of the best medieval mysteries in Michael Jeck's West Country/Templar series.
