The Hand of Justice

The Tenth Chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew

By: Susanna Gregory

Narrated by: David Thorpe

In Cambridge, 1355, the colleges of the fledgling university are as much at odds with each other as they are with the ordinary townfolk.

This tension has recently been heightened by the return of two well-born murderers after receiving the King's pardon, showing no remorse but ready to confront those who helped convict them. And in the midst of this, Bartholomew the physician is called to the local mill to examine two corpses. It is almost a relief to be able to turn his back on the fractious town, but as always in Cambridge nothing is disconnected.

Characterizations and history

Impressive narrator performance
; imaginative plots. Charming characters. Good mystery. Cccc. Bbbb. Mmmmm. Lll p pppl. Juju

Consistency great

Another well woven plot with a lot of twist and turns that always pull me in. Unfortunately I can never figure these out or at least until new items are revealed. Excellent narration

One of the best

This is my favorite Matthew Bartholomew novels yet. Complex plot that really held some surprises for the reader. I like that some plot elements carried over from the previous novel. Fun characters as always.

Great characters and plot
