A Plague on Both Your Houses - Susanna Gregory ... from his more traditional colleagues. Besides his practice, Bartholomew is teacher of Medicine at Michaelhouse, part of the fledgling University of Cambridge. In 1348, the inhabitants of Cambridge live under the shadow of a terrible pestilence that has ravaged Europe and is travelling relentlessly eastward towards England. Bartholomew, however, is distracted by the sudden and inexplicable death of the Master of Michaelhouse - a death the University authorities do not want investigated. When three more scholars die in mysterious circumstances, Bartholomew defies the University and begins his own enquiry. His pursuit for the truth leads him into a complex tangle of lies and intrigue that causes him to question the innocence of his closest friends, and even his family. And then the Black Death finally arrives and Bartholomew is dragged deeper and deeper into a quagmire which threatens not only his life, but the continued existence of the University and the future of the town.

The Tarnished Chalice - Susanna Gregory

Premium Review More Matthew Bartholomew! (650 words)
by mogdred - written on 06/03/09 (Very useful, 389 readings)
Rating:

"The Tarnished Chalice" is the twelfth book in the Matthew Bartholomew series by Susanna Gregory. The series has run to fourteen chronicles now and number fifteen is due in June this year. It is set in 14th Century Cambridge and revolves around Dr Matthew Bartholomew who helps to solve murders/mysteries by inspecting bodies, usually at the request of his good friend Brother Michael. I first discovered Susanna Gregory and the Matthew Bartholomew chronicles a few years ago and have read them sporadically - usually in no particular order. The books are easy enough to read as stand alone books although they are part of a series, but they are generally more ...

"The Butcher of Smithfield" is the third in the new series Susanna Gregory is writing - the Thomas Chaloner stories. This comes after the success of the Matthew Bartholomew series set in 14th Century Cambridge. The Thomas Chaloner books are set in Restoration London and the main character is a spy who previously worked for Cromwell s government and has had to find employment with the new government after the Restoration of the Monarchy. The political backdrop of the new series is interesting and adds danger to Chaloner s exploits as he does not know who to trust.
