Story
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.

Before then her bedroom was a dark, windowless cellar, her activities confined to cooking and cleaning. She'd grown used to being maltreated by the Songoli family - to being a slave. She's never been outside, doesn't know how to read or write, and cannot speak English. At least that's what the Songolis believe. But Muna is far cleverer - and her plans more terrifying - than the Songolis or anyone else can ever imagine....

In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .38 from his pocket, and, in front of everybody, shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Excellent on all counts

If you can get beyond the fact that everyone is a legal idiot (seriously? do people not pay attention to the laws and how they work? really?) there are actually some fun characters in the book. The characters aren't drawn consistently, but they do work together for the most part.
The story kept my interest and I would recommend it with reservation.
Enjoyable but not her best
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
SIMON PREBBLE DOES A GOOD JOB NARRATING ALL THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, BUT EVEN HE SEEMS TO LOSE THE THREAD OF WHO IS WHO, VOCALLY.
WALTERS IS USUALLY TIGHTLY PLOTTED. SO I WAS RATHER DISAPPOINTED IN THIS STORY. THE SUBPLOTS OF FOX HUNTING WITH NARRATIVE ABOUT CRUELTY TO ANIMALS WAS ALSO SOMETHING I DISLIKED, SO PEOPLE SENSITIVE TO ABUSE ELEMENTS SHOULD BE FOREWARNED.
I HAVE READ MANY OF MS. WALTERS' MYSTERIES AND THIS ONE DOESN'T MAKE THE GRADE.
CONVOLUTED AND DISAPPOINTING
