Book Description:
MURDER, PLAGUE, AND DEATH...
As reeve of the small village of Pryor Byfield, Simon Perryn must rule on many local disputes - a task he often shares with the steward of St. Frideswide's nunnery. But when the steward is accused of dishonesty and forced to step aside, the worldly Dame Frevisse is sent to replace him.
Her new duties thrust the reluctant Frevisse into the conflicts, rivalries, and domestic dramas of the locals - and when a plague sweeps through the town, the overworked nun must stay so as not to expose the nunnery to the disease. But after two villagers are brutally killed, Frevisse must divide her time between tending for the sick and searching for the truth.
As death casts a cloud over Prior Byfield, fear and suspicion reign - and Frevisse's keen deductions lead her ever closer to the disturbing truth...
The ninth book in the Sister Frevisse series.

Barbara (Why another cozy series? It's not because each book in this series gives glimpses into everyday life in 15th century England. It's not the mysteries that are investigated, even though they are usually engaging, even complex. It's not the fictional connection to Chaucer, either. No, the main reason I read these books is Dame Frevisse herself. She's a terrific character, tough, smart, and independent, but honest and introspective enough about her own flaws to be vulnerable, and I love getting to know her better.
Jeannine W. (This was a tricky one! I like how the author invented the way for Frevisse to be involved with this one. I kind of fgiured it out but had no idea who HE was going to be ;o)
Another incredible novel about Dame Frevisse and her investigation of two murders. This novel is set during the reign of Henry V (I believe) and the mystery is both well written and fascinating.
Another 'Tale' for Dame Frevisse! When the steward of a small village is accused of dishonesty, Dame is sent in to replace him. Her new duties include conflicts, rivalries and domestic dramas--not to mention a devastating illness and murder.

As death casts a cloud over Prior Byfield, fear and suspicion reign-and Frevisse's keen deductions lead her closer to the disturbing truth. Superbly researched, The Reeves's Tale offers a brilliantly realized vision of a typical medieval English village. (from the back of the book)
