Reseña del libro "The Novice's Tale (a Dame Frevisse Mystery) (en Inglés)"
UNHOLY PASSIONS AND DEMONIC DEATHS...In the fair autumn of Our Lord's grace 1431, the nuns of England's St. Frideswide's prepare for the simply ceremonies in which the saintly novice Thomasine will take her holy vows. But their quiet lives of beauty and prayer are thrown into chaos by the merciless arrival of Lady Ermentrude Fenner and her retinue of lusty men, sinful women, and baying hounds. The hard-drinking dowager even keeps a pet monkey for her amusement. She demands wine, a feast...And her niece, the angelic Thomasine.The lady desires to enrich herself and her reputation by arranging a marriage for the devout novice. She cares nothing for the panic and despair she leaves behind her.But all her cruel and cunning schemes are brought to a sudden end with strange and most unnatural murder.As suspicious eyes turn on the pious Thomasine, it falls to Sister Frevisse, hosteler of the priory and amateur detective, to unravel the webs of unholy passion and dark intrigue that entangle the novice and prove her innocence... or condemn her.THE FIRST VOLUME OF THE NATIONAL BESTSELLING SISTER FREVISSE NOVELS!
