Pertenece a las seriesLibby Sarjeant (11)
Lesley Cookman's bestselling series featuring amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant is back for its eleventh instalment. A jewelled Anglo-Saxon reliquary has mysteriously appeared on a website, apparently containing a relic of St Eldreda herself. The nuns at St Eldreda's Abbey are understandably curious, and invite Libby Sarjeant to look into the matter in more depth. Fascinated by the story, Libby's friend Peter obtains permission to mount 'Murder In The Monastery', a play based on St Eldreda's story, excitingly set in the ruins of the original monastery. Unfortunately for Peter's plans, a real body is discovered, and Libby and her friend Fran find out that this is sadly not the first. Together, Libby and Fran dive into their investigations, to hopefully find the link between the relic, St Eldreda, and the pile of bodies. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I think I may need to add the village of Steeple Martin to my list of places not to visit, although the village itself sounds pretty interesting. (If you remember others include St. Mary Mead, and anything including the word Midsommer.)
The action of the novel centres around a quickly written play about the life of St. Eldreda to be accompanied by the display of a reliquary which contains her finger bone. Of course we are expecting a murder because of the title of the novel, but the identity of the victim comes as a surprise to all. Libby engages a researcher to trace the descendants of the family whom the reliquary has belonged to over the centuries. The results of this research provides a lot of surprises.
This is a real cozy, lots of characters to sort out, and red herrings do abound. Libby has a good working relationship with a local police DCI because she has been involved in a number of earlier cases. There is probably a good argument for getting into this series at the very beginning, so you have the build up of character information that will result from that. ( )
