The much-feared and hated Eudo - the Lord Bishop of Winchester's clerk - is bludgeoned to death in Pershore Abbey and laid before the altar in the attitude of a penitent. Everyone who had contact with him had reason to dislike him, but who had reason to kill him? The Sheriff of Worcestershire's thief taker, wily Serjeant Catchpoll, and his new and unwanted superior, Undersheriff Hugh Bradecote, have to find the answer. And as the walls of the abbey close in on the suspects, the killer strikes again....

During intermission at the famed La Fenice opera house in Venice, Italy, a notoriously difficult and widely disliked German conductor is poisoned—and suspects abound. Guido Brunetti, a native Venetian, sets out to unravel the mystery behind the high-profile murder. To do so, he calls on his knowledge of Venice, its culture, and its dirty politics. Along the way, he finds the crime may have roots going back decades—and that revenge, corruption, and even Italian cuisine may play a role.

An exotic mystery set in 11th-century Japan....Akitada is on his way to the bedside of his dying mother when bad weather forces him to take refuge in a temple whose central treasure is a brilliantly painted hell screen. Perhaps its violent imagery influences his dreams: that night he is awakened by a terrible scream.
It's only after Akitada returns to his family and a scene of domestic unhappiness and scandal that the significance of that cry becomes clear.

When the Black Death enters England through the port in Dorsetshire in June 1348, no one knows what manner of sickness it is - or how it spreads and kills so quickly. The Church cites God as the cause, and fear grips the people as they come to believe that the plague is a punishment for wickedness. But Lady Anne of Develish has her own ideas. Educated by nuns, Anne is a rarity among women, being both literate and knowledgeable. With her brutal husband absent from the manor when news of this pestilence reaches her, she looks for more sensible ways to protect her people than confession.

She was the least known of Henry VIII's six wives, but was the cleverest of them all. Alluring, witty, and resourceful, she attracted the king's lust and, though in love with the handsome Thomas Seymour, was thrown into the snakepit of the royal court.

Historically accurate
While I enjoyed this book it moved more slowly than other books l have read by this author. The multiple viewpoint characters definitely contributed to the slow advancement of the story.

Not The World's Greatest Historical Fiction
There are two problems with this book: the writing and the reading are both pedestrian. A talented reader might have given more life to the generally uninspiring text, but the bottom line is that, while the idea behind the book is not a bad one, Sharan Newman lacks the technical writing expertise to raise this beyond the ordinary. The characters all too often sound as if they were transplanted into the 12th century from the present, and the attempts to bring the medieval world to life are fairly wooden. While the killer remains evasive the plot line is fairly predictable. Names like "Edgar of Wedderly" and the super-intelligent heroine make the book seem one step above a Mills & Boon romance. (It's not quite a bodice-ripper) The reader should have made a greater effort to pronounce what Hebrew terms are used correctly, and she doesn't really make any attempt to make the voices of the various characters differ from one another. Compared with the Cadfael books, read by Stephen Thorne, and Laurie King's "Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes" series (not in audio AFAIK), this is pretty poor stuff.
