Wine of Violence

The Medieval Mysteries, Book 1

De: Priscilla Royal

Narrado por: Wanda McCaddon

Late summer, 1270. Although the Simon de Montfort rebellion is over, the smell of death still hangs over the land. In the small priory of Tyndal, the monks and nuns of the Order of Fontevraud long for a return to routine. Their hopes are dashed, however, when the young and inexperienced Eleanor of Wynethorpe is appointed their new prioress. Only a day after her arrival, a brutally murdered monk is found in the cloister gardens, and Brother Thomas, a young priest with a troubled past, arrives to bring her a more personal grief. Now Eleanor must not only struggle to gain the respect of her terrified and resentful flock but also cope with violence, lust, and greed.

Great short read!

I was hesitant when reading the description, reviews and foreword. I’m so thankful I decided to follow my hunch. It is a fun read containing the character development and unspoken thought that I enjoy!

Good start to a series

unlike the review I read before I didn't find it full of sodomy. I thought the author did a good job of dealing with the period, the church, the issues the church has always faced, and a very interesting time in English history. it was a good start, I'm hopeful it will get even better. the author laid solid groundwork.

I love the Forward....

The author explains why there were changes made in the writing that might be historically correct but would connect to the modern reader and make the book more enjoyable. I appreciated that infornation.

Excellent mystery

I wasn’t sure about this series, but have found it intriguing. I’ve gone back to download the series. The narrator, Wanda McCaddon is excellent with the various speakers.

Rocky start but persevere

Rocky start but hang in there
