Exciting mystery with plenty of twist and turns
The Renegade Merchant continues the story-line of the previous book as Gareth and Gwen go off to Shrewsbury to both find King Owain's brother (wanted for the murder of Prince Rhun) and to find out whether Gwen's father was the father of Adeline (she was Gwen's look-alike in the previous book). However, nothing is ever simple in the world of our medieval slueths, Gwen and Gareth. Soon both are drawn into John Fletcher's (the Deputy Sheriff of Shrewbury) investigation into the unexplained pool of blood in an alley, minus a body; the unexplained murder of one of Shrewsbury's worthies and a missing Irishman. I really enjoyed The Renegades Merchant - it had plenty of twists and turns and I have to say I didn't expect the ending and the reason for the murders in the first place. I'm now looking forward to the next Gwen and Gareth mystery that comes out in just a few days :)
Another winner for Sarah Woodbury fans!
Another great entry in this remarkable and captivating series. Great characters, great plots and great intrigues, all painted against the backdrop of medieval Wales. Ms Woodbury knows the culture of the time, the politics and the geography of this beautiful land, and weaves it seamlessly throughout her tales of the travels, and travails, of Gareth and Gwen as they unravel mysteries and solve puzzles in support of Welsh royalty and, sometimes, their own lives. If you enjoy historical novels, mystery and suspense, or "clean" and understated romantic tales, it is all here - something for everyone. And a darn good read!
The Saga of Gwen and Gareth Continues
Gareth and Gwen are once again on the road: this time to Shrewsbury in England--on the trail of the king's brother. [Spoiler alert]. This traitor has killed the king's eldest son, Rhun, leaving his brother the task of avenging him. Hywel serves as the king's master spy, and Gwen and Gareth are his most important investigators. Almost immediately they are diverted from this task in order to help the acting sheriff of Shrewsbury to investigate two murders.
This is a fine mystery: plenty of action, fascinating historical background, and--of course--wonderful character depiction.
More murder mysteries with an historical theme.
I'm a very satisfied fan of Sarah Woodbury. This series in particular is wonderfully historical and intriguing with all the twists and turns of each murder. I know the characters well and I really like them. I look forward to more of the further adventures of Gwen and Gareth, especially now that I sense a change of direction for Gwen. More, more and more.
