I Have now finished the book for letter D ~ Dissolution
It was a great novel with lots of red herrings twists and turns, intriguing and perfect detective work.
Set in Henry 8th time the description of the landscape and monastery surroundings puts you there. The way the clues are worked out is different every chapter. Lots of people suspected of the murders but every chapter you think you know "who did it" that person is scratched from the list then something else happens and you put the person back on the list.
Four murders and lots of suspects ....will not give it away but its not who you think it is .....there is a happy ending ....Enjoyed the style of writing and would say read it if you enjoy love mystery and intrigue and twist at the end. Would read other books with same medieval detective........a Miss Marple in hose and with codpiece LOL !!!
Next book will begin with the letter E......Even the Dogs by Jon Mcgregor.
I Have started this book its only 195 pages but have never read book like this
Its in chapters but hard reading all over the place.
Has sections in each chapter telling you something to do with the murder.
Lots of swear words which I am unaccustomed to in books (lead a sheltered upbringing perhaps)...on nearly every page and sometimes not needed....will give it a try but don't think will read any more from this author ....hope it gets better as I get into it ....

Che is still revered as a hero in Cuba.
Every day in schools to start the day all the children say " I wish to be like Che"
I learnt more about my hero from this book, this man is still seen as a idol in Bolivia some women pray to him as they believe he looks like Jesus.
I learnt that Che's hands where cut off and sent to Castro to prove he was dead, he was buried along an airport runway in Bolivia for over 30 years. He was eventually returned to Cuba.
Che is buried in Santa Clara in a lavish monument designed by his daughter. I have visited it and can say it is very serene and spiritial also befits this Hero of Cuba, he is revered by all in this small town who where liberated in the revolution by this warrior of liberation .
Loved this book have read lots on this man but this book gave me an insight to Che the man as well as Che the revolutionary guerrilla......
