Ludlow, England, 1502

When Thomas Berrington finds the bones of a human hand in his room at Ludlow Castle, he knows he must confront whoever left them. But when Thomas tracks the man down, his throat has been cut, and Thomas believes the killer is an old adversary.
In hot pursuit of his suspect, Thomas comes under attack, barely escaping with his life. When paid mercenaries storm Thomas’s house, threatening his family, he redoubles his efforts. Finally confronting the perpetrator, he makes a mistake that might prove fatal. Can he succeed, or will this be the end for Thomas Berrington?

A slow burner for a Barrington mystery...however...

Book 2 of this Tudor series was for the first 3/4s wasn't hard going, but I found it rather slow. The characters not surprisingly were well known from book one which was expected. That said, Barrington's new role as Justice of the Peace promised well.

The last 1/4 of the book was absolutely thrilling and Mr Penny's narrative was now full of pace. Some outcomes pretty predictable but made persevering well rewarded. I note there is to be a 3rd in the Series which of course I'll download & have great expectations. Penny is a skilled & knowledgable historical writer & remains up there with the best of them.

Excellent instalment in the series

Thomas Berrington has become one of my favourite historical fiction characters. This story like the 10 or so before is alive with great characters. Over the years he has aged and changed as each story takes it's toll on him which makes him both believable and sympathetic. Penny keeps the pace of the story brisk but infuses it with a rich feel of the period. An excellent read.

I have yet to read a poor Thomas Berrington novel. Actually
I have to read one that isn't of the highest quality. This latest is no exception.
David Parry is an extremely good author who never seems to write a bad sentence but he also has the great skill of writing and introducing brilliant characters ( which is a good job due to the high mortality rate of Berringtons friends and goes alike) which keeps the series fresh.
If you have yet to experience the skill of David Penny you are missing a treat.

Really enjoy this series of books. Well written and the mysteries are always very good. Moving from Spain to England has given the series a nice change in direction. Hopefully they will continue for many more years!

David Penny has maintained the high standard set in previous Thomas Beriington books. Maybe one of the better ones? Well worth the read.

A bit contrived. Little of Catherine and Arthur but instead power play in Leominster and an old grudge back again. The end was sort of stuck on and was rushed. None the less a decent read.
