This is the 14th book in the series and the first one I have read. It was an interesting to read from Brother Athelstan’s perspective. The murderer is ruthless with the use of a substance known as Greek Fire. The deaths seem to be concentrated on the people involved with the conviction of Lady Isolda Beaumont. One man is found in a locked concrete room burned to death. How could this have happened? The book has a good pace, and the characters are developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. If you enjoy period murder mysteries, you will like this one.
