I
t is amazing how author Priscilla Royal can write of medieval times as though she had experienced them herself.
Wild Justice
is the fourteenth in her
Medieval Mystery
series.
I
n the spring of 1282, Prioress Eleanor stops at Mynchen Buckland Priory, where she finds that Prioress Amicia has been accused of murder and is being incarcerated until a trial can be held.
H
orrified at the thought that a religious person could commit such a terrible act, Eleanor pretends to hurt her ankle in order to have a reason to linger at the Priory while she investigates the murder of the unpopular village shrew. Most villagers had a good reason to dislike this woman who thought nothing of blackmailing anyone who might have a secret they didn't want shared.
R
oyal writes as though she herself were laid up with a badly sprained ankle as her minions report to her the clues they have found and the people they have talked to. I felt as though I was helping, especially when another murder occurred.
