River of Sins (A Bradecote and Catchpoll Investigation #7)
by
by
My second book with a memorable couple, Bradecote and Catchpoll, who this time have to find the culprit behind the brutal murder of a woman of ill-repute. The year is 1144 and Worcester is a busy city. The River Severn gives employment and witnesses brutality and crime, present and the past.
I found this book interesting, with solid historical background with regard to the descriptions of the places, people and their daily lives, both dwelling in the city and farming the land. The mystery is well-told and quite intriguing.
*Many thanks to Sarah Hawkswood, Allison & Busby, and NetGalley for arc in exchange for my honest review.*

Good review, Beata! Sounds quite interesting. Glad it was enjoyable. I think this is part of a series but would it read well as a standalone?

Thank you, Rae :)) I believe you can read it as a standalone, personally I've read two books only out of seven :))
