Publisher's Summary:
Moorish Spain, 1484, and no one is innocent.
Thomas Berrington, emigre Englishman who has made the doomed city of Garnatah his home, is once again attempting to solve a series of mysterious deaths. Accompanied by his companion, the palace eunuch Jorge, Thomas struggles to discover the truth while those in power seek to distract him. As his investigation continues, his personal life splinters into chaos, and he finds the Spanish, once more, demanding his presence.
As Thomas and Jorge draw closer to their quarry, the killer's attention turns on them and those they love. The pair must race to unmask the Sin Eater before the lives of those close to them become forfeit.
The Sin Eater is the follow up to The Red Hill and Breaker of Bones, stunning historical mysteries set in a time and place colored by intrigue and battle.
Members Reviews:
Great writing but too much gore.
Penny is an interesting and entertaining historical mystery writer, but why is there so much blood and guts on these pages? We can go for a hundred pages of interesting character and plot development, and then there are several murders with body parts flung all over the place. Just too much mayhem for me in a series that should be much more even keel. A 3.5 for the brutality.
Really enjoyable read.
Really enjoyed the book the last of a series of three. The main character is not immediately exposed totally as to what sort of person he is...his character is eked out over the series, which makes him intriguing and makes me look forward to further stories. Apart from the crime, the practice of medicine at the time, The detail about the politics and intrigue within the Alhambra and the Harem makes for very interesting reading.
The Sin Eater
I like followup from the previous book and the personal and political lives interwoven along with the murder mysteries of them.
The research done which is the main part of the story, is the best way to learn about a time unfamiliar with a little about the personal lives of those historical figures.
Not a bad mystery in the Thomas Berrington series
Not a bad mystery in the Thomas Berrington series. Good perspective of life in Moorish Spain near the end of the al Andalus kingdom prior to the time when Ferdinand of Spain completes his conquest of the rest of the Moorish kingdom.
Great Medieval sluething continues.
Great follow up to Penny's other books in the series. Can't wait for volume 5, The Inquisitor.
