A Wicked Deed - Susanna Gregory ... Unwin, an unworldly scholar, is to be installed as priest. Their journey is not without incident - they are chased by footpads, pass through an eery village abandoned after the recent plague and find a man barely alive on a gibbet - so they reach their destination with some relief. But their thoughts of recovering while enjoying the local Pentecostal Fair are soon curtailed, as they are immediately thrust into the machinations of local boundary disputes between three landowners. Then all such squabbles seem mere trivia when Unwin is murdered in the very church which was to have been his home. While trying to investigate a possible motive for his killing, Bartholomew discovers that his is not the first unnatural death in the village - deaths which everyone has put down to the curse of the plague dead village. He is of too practical a mind to believe the superstitions, but is he wily enough to work out the real motive behind the murders and who will gain from them?

Premium Review More Matthew Bartholomew! (650 words)

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. In "The Butcher of Smithfield" Chaloner has just returned from spying in Portugal and ...
