Review
Clare's Aelf Fen series, set in eleventh-century England, gets better and better. In the latest installment, neophyte healer Lassair experiences disturbing dreams in which someone she can't identify is calling for her help. Terrified that one of her family is in danger, Lassair leaves Cambridge and the home of her mentor, Gurdyman, for her home village. There, she learns that her beloved sister, Elfritha, a novice nun at nearby Chatteris Abbey, is critically ill, and another nun has been murdered. But even when Elfritha begins to mend, the disturbing dreams continue. While Lassair is still trying to discover what her dreams mean, the reader is transported to northern England, where Rollo, a Norman knight, has been given a dangerous and desperate missions by the King of England--a mission on which the future of the country depends. While carrying out the king's task, Rollo comes perilously close to death, and he knows in his heart that only Lassair--the woman he loves and who loves him in return--can extract him from his horrifying predicament. From the very first page, readers are taken on a thrilling, dangerous, suspenseful, otherworldly, and pulse-quickening journey, and until the very end, it's not clear whether the ending will be happy or disastrous. A must for historical mystery afficionados. -- Booklist, November 1, 2011

This review is from: The Way Between the Worlds (An Aelf Fen Mystery) (Hardcover)
I am a big fan of this series- this is the fourth volume.This series is a mixture of History: setting in Brittain in the 11th century along with a murder mystery and magic/fantasy. Lassair is a young Saxon girl with mystical powers. She is practical and resourceful. This time round she is reunited with Rollo, her Norman love interest and solves a serial killer murder. Loved the growth in her character over the last few books. I just wish it was on Kindle- I had to order the hardcover, but it was well worth it.
