3.0 out of 5 stars Not all that exciting!, August 31, 2003
I've been reading through Margaret Frazer's series with Sister Frevisse, and I found this book not very exciting and there's not much mystery here. Normally I enjoy Ms. Frazer's books, but this one was not my favourite. In this book Sister Frevisse is called to a funeral for her beloved uncle, Thomas Chaucer. While at the funeral feast one of the nobles that is present gets in an argument and says, "May God stike me dead, if what I say isn't the truth!" Then sure enough he is overcome with some sort of attack and can't catch his breath. He later dies from this and Sister Frevisse is asked by a distant relative (who is a bishop) to find out what actually happened. Of course, it wasn't a sign of God, and she does discover the killer, but so had I. I figured it out long before the ending of the book. I will continue to read this series, but I do hope that it gets interesting again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the series!, June 11, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've now read all the books in Margaret Fraser's series and this one was beyond excellent. I cried the first 60 pages and loved the rest. Truly excellent book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A medieval jewel., March 24, 2004
I think A Bishop's Tale, set in the late medieval period, is a very good read. The author, Margaret Frazer, did a great job with research, setting and characterization.
She built believable characters, with flaws and depth. I can't wait to start on the rest of the series.
