The Case of the Clerical Cadaver On kindle and sorry but no cover photo
Do you need a little bit of downright silliness to take your mind off of the Corona world? I have just the therapeutic cure for you. Try any one of Howard of Warrick's series about the Chronicles of Brother Hermitage who wanders around medieval England solving mysteries and crimes for the King. The Brother has a couple of sidekicks. One is a weaver who has made a bundle peddling pornographic tapestries and the other is an apprentice weaver who turns out to be a girl with a very 21st century set of attitudes and a sassy mouth.
In this caper the trio is requested to look into the murder of a monk who has been impaled on a sun dial in the courtyard of a mysterious monastery. There are secrets inside of secrets to unravel and plenty of hidden passages to explore. Everything is enveloped in dialogue that is funny, acerbic, and let's face it corny. You will be forgiven if you actually laugh out loud. There is a kind of Laurel and Hardy looniness about everything from the characters to the plots.
