I enjoyed this mystery, even though I had a slight suspicion of who the bad guy was by the middle of the book. I also found it interesting all this took place just 120 years after the Norman invasion of England.

The very young Robert the Bruce, future king of Scotland, makes a cameo appearance in the novel.

Doherty does a good job interlacing true historical facts into his novels. Such as the activities and intrigues of the higher religious figures in politics.
