Product Description
Two startling murders that replicate the death of a mediaeval English king and the discovery of a mysterious ancient tapestry lead Belinda Lawrence and her associate Hazel Whitby into a vortex of suspense involving a bizarre religious cult, an enigmatic academic, a group of monks devoted to aggression and clues to a thrilling conspiracy nearly a thousand years old. Are the Godwins, self-proclaimed spiritual leaders, really devoted to their religious group? Is Sir Gerald Taylor, revered university don, as benign as he appears? What is the origin of the puzzling tapestry discovered in the old country house? It is the murder of a local villager that ensnares Belinda and Hazel in this web of intrigue and as they follow up each clue they little realise that their own lives are to a greater extent in danger. Although pessimistic, Mark Sallinger, Belinda's lover, is coaxed into aiding the women as they attempt to solve the riddle, a riddle that creates more uncertainty at every turn. And each perilous turn brings the trio closer to an electrifying climax and imminent death. Following on from Capable of Murder, this is the second in the Belinda Lawrence Mystery Series and continues the lively young Australian's adventures in England with the same degree of wicked humour and heart-stopping excitement.

catsalive (Australia) (2009/09/02):
The sequel to CAPABLE OF MURDER - A startling and vicious murder occurs immediately after Belinda Lawrence and her friend/associate, Hazel Whitby, tour a house while looking for antiques. During that visit, they meet the owner of a mysterious tapestry which may or may not be part of a larger tapestry commemorating the relationship between William the Conqueror and others competing for power and favor.Suspects include some very young monks, a couple who may actually be the descendants of those involved in the famous Bayeux tapestry, a cult-like group with mysterious practices and mannerisms, and an innocent clergyman seeking some excitement in a notably dreary day-to-day existence.
