“It wouldn’t be a religious pilgrimage without a murder—at least not in one of Royal’s authentically wrought medieval mysteries…What makes this series—this is the seventh entry—tick are the recurring subplots involving Eleanor, Thomas, and Ralf that run through all the narratives, binding the characters and their intimate stories together into an intriguing subtext.”

“Wanda McCaddon’s vocal range and accent are as broad and rich as the list of titles she has narrated. Her experience and skill are equally evident in this presentation of book seven in Priscilla Royal’s Medieval Mysteries series. McCaddon’s delivery of period dialogue, full of the stilted phrasing and earthy terminology typical of that age, is particularly strong. Her nuances of tone and volume provide clear character differentiation, and she transitions smoothly between religious, murderous, and ribald events in a natural and convincing manner. Although Royal comes close to overwhelming the story line with historical detail, she includes enough suspense and intrigue to keep things moving. While there are references to earlier characters and events in the series, this book can be enjoyed on its own.”
