Helpful Score: 4

A grisly tale of a serial killer who disembowels his young victims. Read this one in summer when the cold of the medieval winter will frost you over. Great realism, although characters seem to wear black or white hats of predictabily. Nevertheless, an intriguing plot that weaves between the power of nobility, suppressed Judaism, ignorance, prejudice and superstition. The surprise at the end is an interesting twist exemplifying the desperation of the powerless. A very gripping read. Highly recommended.
