Publisher's Summary:
Based on an enigmatic entry in the records of Clementhorpe Nunnery, this authentic, gripping mystery conjures a 14th century ripe with forbidden passions and political intrigue.
When young nun Joanna Calverley dies of a fever in the town of Beverley in the summer of 1365, she is buried quickly for fear of the plague. But a year later, Archbishop Thoresby learns of a woman who has arrived in York claiming to be the resurrected nun, talking of relic-trading and miracles. And death seems to ride in her wake.
The archbishop sends Owen Archer to retrace the woman's journey, an investigation that leads him across the north from Leeds to Beverley to Scarborough. Along the way he encounters Geoffrey Chaucer, a spy for the king of England, who believes there is a connection between the nun's troubles, renegade mercenaries, and the powerful Percy family. Back in York, however, Owen's wife Lucie, pregnant with their first child, has won the confidence of the mysterious nun and realizes that there are secrets hidden in the woman's seemingly mad ramblings....

Owen Archer is helping to train the archers the Duke of Lancaster needs for a brewing war. A nun has gone missing, died, and returned from the dead. The Archbishop sees a connection and sets Owen to getting to the bottom of what the nun was up to during her 'death' and what she knows about treasonous captains. Lucie meanwhile is pregnant and dismayed that her father is visiting and to make matters more interesting is the only one who can calm the strange nun. Owen eventually gets the whole story mostly from obscure ramblings from the nun and legwork with his old friends
Like this series of books, good reads.
While this is not my favorite in the series it is still quite good. I love these characters and the settings. I find the stories very believable and they quickly pull you into the intrigue. I am happy to know that there are many more to follow. Different from the court stories and seemingly well researched and true to the era. The author really gives you the feeling of living in the time period with all it's dirt and discomfort and difficulties. She does all this while keeping you concerned and caring for her characters. Highly recommend these stories. Can't wait to read more about Owen Archer and Lucie.

I have enjoyed the 3 novels I've read in the Owen Archer series, as entertaining glimpses of li. e in 14th century York, England Historical mysteries is my favorite genre for leisure reading and these 3 novels are all equally engaging from start to finish--and all without resorting to 4-letter words. The violence , because eand one deals with murders--is told straight forwardly, without undue blood and gore. Each deals with sex as a normal part of life,, without being too graphic, except for the incestuous love in "The Nun's Tale". I like the principal characters, and the plots are realistic, although grounded in the history of that era. I will surely read other novels in this series for my own pleasure and leisure.
Another good effort in the series.
The relationship between two of the main "villains" was telegraphed fairly early on in the book so there was little surprise when it was finally revealed.
