4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting historical mystery, May 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Book of Shadows (Hardcover)
This series has an unusual protagonist and so introduces the reader to an almost unknown part of history - that of women doctors in the Middle Ages. This is sometimes more interesting than the plot. I wish Katherine and Colum would get together soon though!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Medieval Ages Get Doctored Up!, June 21, 1998
This review is from: The Book of Shadows (Hardcover)
Kathyrn Swinbrooke, physician, herbalist, and leech, makes this period piece seem like a series of anachronisms, but it's well worth the time to delve into this exciting Medieval mystery by one of my favorite authors P.C. Dougherty writing as C.L. Grace. The author is able, due to his expertise in this period of English history (he holds a doctorate from Oxford), to make his tales sound genuine and forthcoming. It's interesting, too, to see him portray Edward IV and Queen so vividly and, with a keen sense of awareness, gives us an insight into the Future King, Richard Duke of Gloucester. Little does Edward realize his short lived tenure!

A good read!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book of Shadows, October 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Book of Shadows (Hardcover)
C L.Grace, Paul Doherty, does it again. Paul's depiction of Medieval Society is unsurpassed and his characters very believable. I don't think there is an author since Chaucer that has given us such a living, breathing (stinking) example of life in this era; good story, good characterization and a mystery as well. THE BOOK OF SHADOWS is just another of his excellent body of work.
