A Wicked Deed : The Fifth Matthew Bartholomew Chronicle, Paperback / softback Book

A Wicked Deed : The Fifth Matthew Bartholomew Chronicle Paperback / softback

Part of the Chronicles of Matthew Bartholomew series

Paperback / softback

Description

Matthew Bartholomew, doctor of medicine and fellow of Michaelhouse, Cambridge, is travelling with a party from the college to accept the gift of the living of a parish in Grundisburgh, Suffolk.

One of his companions, Unwin, an unworldly scholar, is to be installed as priest.

When they arrive, they are immediately thrust into the machinations of local boundary disputes between three landowners, but all such squabbles seem mere trivia when Unwin is murdered in the very church which was to have been his home.

While trying to investigate a possible motive for his killing, Bartholomew discovers that this is not the first unnatural death in the village - deaths which everyone has put down to the curse of the plague-dead village.

He is of too practical a mind to believe the superstitions, but is he wily enough to work out the real motive behind the murders and who will gain from them?
