Death Of The Vintner: Murder and mystery in medieval England (The Draychester Chronicles Book 2 - middle ages crime) Kindle Edition

by M J Westerbone (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 204 ratings

Late 14th Century Wales. Trouble is brewing, but isn't it always?

The Bishop of Draychester is missing a very expensive barrel of Gascony wine. A gift for the new king, stolen from the port of Tenby in the English stronghold of South Pembrokeshire. It's a dangerous place to be asking the wrong sort of questions. The town is awash with ill feeling and intrigue, the result of a bitter feud between the merchants. Who better to send to investigate than Will Blackburne, newly appointed bishop's official?

In the north of Wales, the Welsh are starting to rise up against their English overlords. For an old mercenary like the outlawed Sir Roger Mudstone, it’s an opportunity too good to be missed. His murderous reputation has earned him the offer of a pardon. The king wants to extract his revenge on the Welsh, and someone has to do the dirty work...

Flasks and Cups from the book cover of Death Of The Vintner

Medieval life is cheap, nasty and short, at least for some, for others, well, it's all just a game to them…

The Draychester Chronicles is the gripping new medieval mystery series from M J Westerbone. Plunge head first into an immersive tale of humour, murder and intrigue set in a gritty depiction of medieval England that’s not for the fainthearted.

Characters you'll want to get to know...

Sir Roger Mudstone is the the grizzled old mercenary you’ll love to hate. A perfect medieval villain with a troubling talent for violence. Given half the chance, he’s the kind of man who’d sell not only his own grandmother but yours too.

In a desperate struggle to counter Mudstone's evil plans are Will, Bernard and Osbert, the Bishop of Draychester's goodhearted but sometimes inept officials.

Enjoy the ride...

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

M J Westerbone was born in the small industrial mill town of Radcliffe in the old county of Lancashire in the North West of England. From an early age he had a keen interest in history fueled by the fact there were the remains of a ruined medieval manor house (Radcliffe Tower) virtually on his doorstep. Deciding a career in archaeology or as a historian in all likelihood wouldn't pay the bills he focused on IT. He has been the director of an IT and Telecoms business for many years whilst continuing his passion for history by writing historical novels. He is married and lives with his wife in Lancashire.

    Not certain about this read. Although I enjoy battles and boisterous characters the villains, apart from the Bishop's trio, were a little too violent!
