Theatre | Music | Movies Humour | Literature | Museums British Video Index | British Book Index | British Audio Index Here we present a pretty comprehensive listing of Historical Mystery Novels. Since Ellis Peters first brought the insightful Brother Cadfael to life in 1977, authors on both sides of the Atlantic have been writing of murder and mystery in centuries past. The books catalogued below range in time from the Saxon period to the 17th century and are set in various locations all across Britain. We plan eventually to give full details of all authors and their sleuthing creations, and of course you can check out our History or Travel Departments for details of many of the literary locations. Please email us if we have overlooked anyone or if you have any comments to share with us about particular books.  Simon Beaufort  Sir Geoffrey de Mappestone Series Murder in the Holy City A Head for

 Featured Book Crowner's Quest: Bernard Knight's Third Medieval Murder Mystery Christmas Eve, 1194. Sir John de Wolfe gratefully escapes a party, being given by his wife Matilda, to examine the body of a canon who has been found hanged. Suicide is suspected, but it is soon apparent that there is more to this case than meets the eye. As always, John's investigations are hampered by his brother-in-law, the sheriff Sir Richard de Revelle. But when a local lord is killed, John begins to suspect that the cases are linked and Sir Richard's reasons for delaying the investigation may be more serious than the usual petty vengeance. Desperately trying to deflect Sir Richard's plots against him, John is soon at loggerheads with Matilda, and even his mistress Nesta. And as he digs deeper, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy that could cost him far more than the women in his life. Check price & availability
