Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "The Lost Abbot (Matthew Bartholomew
Chronicles #19)" by Susanna Gregory.
It's been read and spell-checked: headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present, fonts adjusted.
406 pages.
Description:
The latest episode in the popular Cambridge series of medieval mysteries,
featuring the physician-cum-sleuth Matthew Bartholomew. Matthew Bartholomew
doesn't want to travel to Peterborough in the summer of 1358, but his
friendship with the lovely Julitta Holm has caused a scandal in Cambridge,
so he has no choice. He is one of a party of Bishops Commissioners, charged
to discover what happened to Peterboroughs abbot, who went for a ride one
day and has not been seen since. When the Commissioners arrive, they find
the town in turmoil. A feisty rabble-rouser is encouraging the poor to rise
up against their overlords, the abbey is at war with a powerful goldsmith
and his army of mercenaries, and there are bitter rivalries between
competing shrines. One shrine is dedicated to Lawrence de Oxforde, a
vicious felon who was executed for his crimes, but who has been venerated
after miracles started occurring at his grave. However, it is not long
before murder rears its head, and its first victim is Joan, the woman
incharge of Oxfordes tomb.
