Murder most foul!

Hungry Death (Cragg and Fidelis Mystery #8) by Robin Blake 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A family murdered on their farm, a young witness without speech, a strange religious group that approaches the tenets of scripture from a very different perspective—all this is the background for a gruesome crime in Warrington, Cheshire, 1747.

As the County Coroner, Titus Cragg is called by the local magistrate, John Blackburne, to investigate the deaths

As fate would have it Dr. Luke Fidelis is staying as a guest at Blackburne’s manor with two French gentleman, one of whom Fidelis had studied with.

Serendipitously, or by chance, a reasonably preserved body is discovered, buried beneath a drainage area in the hothouse of the Hall.

Now two seperate incidents of murder will exercise Titius’ investigative powers.

His wife Elizabeth joins him for a few days, and as always proves to be helpful in bringing Titus’ thoughts to fruition.

I had a glimpse, a fleeting idea of who the culprit might be early on, but nothing concrete. Really it was troubling.

Another fascinating late medieval mystery that delves into these times and showcases some of the cultural and social aspects, the happenings, of that era. The religious offshoots of the murdered family are fascinating.
