Part Medieval Mystery, part ghost story and part love letter to the 14th century and ancients traditions, A Gathering of Ghosts charges at the conflicts of a complex era and uses its unique locale, meticulous detail, believable dialogue and fully fleshed characters to ultimately keep the pages turning for the reader. In these chapters the church battles pagan practices and laws over a holy well under the chapel while outside the priory walls, land and mining rights make a secondary story that may leave the reader wishing to return to the order life of the Sisters of the Knights of St John and the mist strewn surrounding wilds more often as those sections on tinning can get a bit dry and repetitive. The ending to all the building drama can also be predictable one moment (especially if you are familiar with this author) but still has one or three twists left that will stay with curious and makes this a novel to recommend. *Purchased and read on kindle -EGP/June 2020 Comments are closed.
