Book Description

Medieval Murderers April 1, 2011

A mysterious meteor brings treachery, discord, and violent death to those who seek to possess it in the sixth volume of these thrilling interlinked medieval mysteries
 
1067. In the desolate wastes of Greenland, a band of hunters stumble across a strangely shaped object which has fallen from the sky. At first, the mysterious "sky-stone" seems to bring them good luck, healing a lame boy and guaranteeing a good catch of furs. But violence and murder soon follow in fortune's wake as the villagers fight and struggle among themselves to gain control of the precious stone. Over the next 600 years, the Sky-Stone falls into the hands of crusading knights, the wicked Sheriff of Devon, a group of radical young kabbalists, the dying King Henry III, and a band of traveling players.

3.0 out of 5 stars Medieval murderers seem to have lost the touch, January 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is the weakest of the Medieval Murderers mysteries. Michael Jecks is absent this time and it shows. The story line is that of a sacred sky stone fallen from the sky in Greenland in the the year after the battle of Hastings.The stone stays in the hand of one man for another 43 years, before becoming the reason for murder in the weakest chapter in the book featuring Geoffrey Mappestone. The story follows the stone from 1067 to 2010, encountering the Jewish Community in 1241,Henry III, The King's Players in the time of James I of England, up to modern times. This reviewer hopes that if they write another book, Michael Jecks will be able to contribute.
