In the late summer of 1274, King Edward has finally been anointed England’s ruler, and his queen contemplates a pilgrimage in gratitude for their safe return from Outremer, a journey that will include a stay at Tyndal Priory. Envoys are sent to confirm that everything will be suitable for the king’s wife, and Prioress Eleanor nervously awaits them, knowing that regal visits bring along expense and honor.
The cost is higher than expected, however, when Death arrives as the emissary. One of the courtiers is murdered near the hut where Brother Thomas now lives as a hermit. Each member of the party has reason to hate the dead man, including Crowner Ralf’s eldest brother, Sir Fulke, and the prioress’s nemesis, the man in black. Soon Eleanor is embroiled in the dangerous world of power games, both secular and religious. Indeed, England’s future under a new king may offer hope and relief, but skeletons from the past can come back to life like those in the biblical valley of dry bones. Which had cause enough to kill?
Priscilla Royal grew up in British Columbia, received a degree in World Literature from San Francisco State University, and lives in Northern California. She is a member of the California Writers Club, Sisters in Crime, and Mystery Writers of America.

Not that it's the author's fault. The epoch was that way. Which helps to understand the injustice of present times. After hundreds of years of prejudices and unfairness change doesn't come easy.
Worthwhile

I had to listen to a few books in this series before I could give it an unqualified thumbs up, but by this one I can truly recommend it. While kindness and compassion are practiced by the main characters, they are still limited by the religious beliefs and practices of their time. I enjoy that, along with the varying plots, and the author's notes at the end of the book.
Welcome back, Ms. McCaddon!
