A Wicked Deed (2003)

Matthew Bartholomew, doctor of medicine and fellow of Michaelhouse, Cambridge, is traveling with a party from the college to accept the gift of a parish church in Suffolk. But when the benefactor begins to unduly rush the deed to legalize the transfer, Bartholomew senses that Suffolk is not the t...

Book

A Plague on Both Your Houses (2003)

My rating: 3.5 stars. A good start to a series with room for improvement. I think I like Matthew, but there is not a lot of character development. The plot doesn't really go anywhere either - you won't learn anything before Matthew does. An awful lot of dead bodies in the first chapter, and that ...

A Bone of Contention (1998)

Der Schatten der Pest liegt über Cambridge. Die Gläubigen suchen Schutz in der Macht heiliger Reliquien. Doch die Knochenhand eines Märtyrers, die Doctor Bartholomew zur Prüfung vorgelegt wird, ist viel zu bleich, um jahrelang im Sumpf gemodert zu haben. Und sie trägt einen Ring, wie er zuletzt d...

The Mark of a Murderer (2006)

On St Scholastica's Day in February 1355, Oxford explodes in one of the most serious riots of its turbulent history. Fearing for their lives, the scholars flee the city, and some choose the University at Cambridge as their temporary refuge. However, they don't remain safe for long. Within hours o...

The Hand of Justice (2005)

In Cambridge in 1355, the colleges of the fledgling university are as much at odds with each other as they are with the ordinary townsfolk. This tension has recently been heightened by the return of two well-born murderers after receiving the King's pardon, showing no remorse but ready to confron...

Book

A Conspiracy of Violence (2006)

This book is set right smack in the middle of Restoration England, a little written understood time in English history. The year of this book is 1662. This is the first in a brand new espionage series that Ms. Susanna Gregory has begun. I am a long-time reader of the Matthew Barholomew series, an...

Book

An Unholy Alliance (1998)

Another random find at the library. I was in the mood for something light and went to look at the Phillipa (Philippa?) Gregory books my branch had. Well, I've read them all, but Susanna Gregory was right next to her. I was a bit hesitant, because the description of Matthew Bartholomew of a doctor...

Book

To Kill or Cure (2008)

Cambridge University is in dire financial straits—the town's landlords are demanding an extortionate rent rise for the students' hostels and the plague years have left the colleges with scant resources. Tension between town and gown is at a boiling point and soon explodes into violence and death....

A Summer of Discontent

They talked in low voices, so that no one could hear.     ‘We were virtually present when this happened,’ whispered Michael, his green eyes huge in his white face. ‘This monster took his fifth victim while we were right outside the building!’ ‘I wonder whether we saw him,’ mus...

Book

The Cheapside Corpse

The city could be seen from afar, too, first as a yellow-brown smear on the horizon from countless belching sea-coal fires, furnaces and ovens, and then as a bristle of towers, spires and turrets, with the lofty bulk of St Paul’s Cathedral looming majestically over them. Despite the city’s drawba...

Book

An Order for Death

When Michael tapped on the door there was a sound of running footsteps, the grille on the gate was snapped open and Tysilia peered out.     ‘Oh, it is you,’ she said to Michael, sounding pleased. ‘We always like visits from Dominicans and Franciscans.’ ‘I am a Benedictine, not...

Book

The Tarnished Chalice

He tossed and turned for a while, then noticed Cynric sitting by the hearth, prodding life into the dying embers of the fire. He went to sit next to him, stretching chilled hands towards the feeble glow. They were not alone for long. The gathering gale disturbed Simon, de Wetherset and Suttone, t...

Book

Mystery in the Minster

When the light failed, and they were finally compelled to desist, all three were tired, discouraged and frustrated. ‘I cannot recall a time when this place was more popular,’ beamed Dean Talerand, when he came to lock the door after them. ‘No one had been in here for weeks before you arrived, but...

A Poisonous Plot

But it was more than a status symbol to Bartholomew: it was a haven from the hectic round that comprised his life, and the final resting place of many much-loved colleagues. Heart in his mouth, he raced towards it, hating the notion that it might be lost. ‘Thank God,’ gasped Michael, when they ar...

Death of a Scholar

He also knew it was time to push earthly concerns from his mind and concentrate on his immortal soul, but he could not bring himself to do it. At least, not yet. His beloved wife Edith sat at his bedside, and her good opinion was important to him – he did not want her to learn that not everything...

The Westminster Poisoner

She had only just returned home, and was so angry that she could barely form the words to tell him why. Apparently, the Queen had been invited to a ball that evening, and had been delighted to think she was included in a Court occasion at last. She had spent all day preparing, taking care not onl...

A Murder on London Bridge

Desperate for more information, he spent the rest of the evening at the Banqueting House, eavesdropping on anyone who frequented the Dowager’s home. But he heard nothing useful and, frustrated and tired, he took his leave when the clocks chimed nine. It was time to go to Chapel House and hunt for...

A Deadly Brew

‘And what would I have done if he had killed you, all alone out here in this vile place?’ Cynric shot her an unpleasant glance. ‘From what I saw, Egil did mean you harm, boy,’ he said to Bartholomew. ‘He was choking the life out of you.’ ‘He was!’ agreed Julianna. ‘I saved your life, but now you ...

The Body in the Thames

‘The ambassador wants to see you,’ he said. ‘Would you mind sparing him a few moments? His other visitors are on the verge of leaving.’ Chaloner did mind, because he had a lot to do. He scrabbled around for an excuse. ‘I have—’ ‘Do not slight him, Tom,’ begged Jacoba. ‘There are only so many insu...

The Devil's Disciples

Father Thomas would never forget the terror of not knowing who might be struck next, or of watching his fellow Franciscans die, one after the other. At first, the friars had believed they would be spared, because the Great Pestilence would only punish the wicked, but they could not have been more...

Death in St James's Park

It was a Friday, when mail left for the United Provinces, the German states and the Baltic, so people were arriving with letters to be carried overseas. However, it was much quieter than on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, when inland collections were made. Chaloner walked to the crater, joinin...

Murder on High Holborn

He aimed for the poky chamber that served as an informal common room for the Earl’s senior staff, where the first person he met was Thomas Kipps, the Lord Chancellor’s Seal Bearer. Kipps was an amiable, friendly fellow, who was never less than perfectly attired. He winced when he saw Chaloner’s c...

The Killer of Pilgrims

‘Who is it? Which of the builders?’ ‘It is none of us,’ replied Yffi shakily. The mason was a crop-haired man with the kind of belly that indicated he was fond of ale; he was fond of camp-ball, too, which said a good deal about his belligerent character. He and his apprentices stood to one side o...

A Vein of Deceit

Bartholomew woke determined to leave Haverhill immediately, but Tesdale proved difficult to prise out of bed. Cynric was about to resort to a jug of cold water when Luneday arrived. The Withersfield man grinned as he announced that Elyan and d’Audley had both agreed to his proposal concerning the...

The Lost Abbot

There was a collective sigh of disappointment when Bartholomew covered Joan with his cloak, followed by much resentful muttering. Michael sent the fittest-looking bedesman to fetch someone in authority from the abbey, but the fellow kept stopping to share the news with people he knew, and it was ...

The Butcher of Smithfield

It was pitch black in the churchyard, but when he removed his hat, his probing fingers detected a substantial dent in the protective metal. The robbers would be astonished to learn he had survived such a solid clout. He stood still for a few moments, willing the dizziness to recede, then began to...

Book

A Masterly Murder

Huge, lumbering carts pulled by plodding oxen and laden with firewood, bundles of reed for thatching and faggots of peat cut from the Fens clogged the middle of the path, while impatient horsemen and pedestrians jostled for space at the sides. There were chapmen with their packs filled with ribbo...

The Piccadilly Plot

He would have gone to bed, but Joan was crashing around in the kitchen, and he knew he would never sleep through the racket. He wondered how Hannah could, but a visit to the bedroom showed him that she had stuffed her ears with rags.     Lethargically, he walked to the Rainbow...

Book

Murder by the Book

The vivid mural had been obliterated with a smart wash of white, and the sour smell of feet and burnt fat was overlain by the sweeter scent of rose petals. Bartholomew could only suppose that Holm had supplied his lover Browne with them, as he had supplied Walkelate with a remedy for Newe Inn’s r...

A Killer in Winter

‘The Waits have been seen with Norbert, Gosslinge and Harysone. I wonder if any of them is the “friend” who takes their stolen property and converts it to pennies.’ ‘Not Gosslinge,’ said Michael. ‘He was in the employ of a respectable merchant. Why should he waste his time with pennies?’ ‘It migh...
