I'm finally, and belatedly making a contribution to this thread. In a
charity shop a few weeks ago I found half a shelf of books by the same author -
medieval mysteries each priced at 40p. I took a chance a bought the lot, eleven
in all for 4.40GBP - less than the price of a single paperback. I'm enjoying
them all:-
A.E. Marston The Wolves of Savernake
The Ravens of Blackwater
The Dragons of Archenfeld
The Lions of the north
The Serpents of Harpledown
The Stallions of Woodstock
The Hawkes of Delamere
The Wildcats of Exeter
The Foxes of Warwick
The owls of Gloucester
The publication date of the lasr is 2000 and so there may be more.
Edward Marston is described as a former history lecturer and I assume his
historical details are correct. All books are based on incidents in the Doomsday
Book and involve a group of men sent by the king to investigate
irregularities and property disputes in different parts of England. So far as I have
read
they all begin with a prologue involving a death which then impinges on the
Domesday Commissioners who inevitably arrive just after the death., If you
enjoy Ellis Peters books you will probably enjoy these.
