The Novice's Tale (Sister Frevisse, Bk 1)
SierraK avatar reviewed on + 194 more book reviews


First Book in the medieval mystery series featuring Dame Frevisse, a nun at the St. Frideswide's monastery. In this first story in the series, a very cranky Lady Ermentraud arrives at the monastery and is poisoned. Thomasine, one of the monastery's novices is niece of the noblewoman. When the local authorities want to find Thomasine guilty of her aunt's murder, Dame Frevisse gets to work to find out the truth.

I enjoyed the medieval setting and learning more about life in the monastery during hte 1400s.
