Sir Law Kentour is an unlikely hero. As the result of injury, he is no longer a soldier and has to make his own way in the hard, medieval world. He is the medieval equivalent of a low-key private detective, employed by those who can pay him to find petty thieves, missing objects and the like, and he lives from hand to mouth and is sometimes assisted by a musician, Cormack. Here he is asked to discover the murderer of a beautiful young woman whose marriage is in trouble and who has left her husband, and, with the help of the monks at the nearby monastery, she is appealing to the pope to annul her marriage. Why she was killed, (and the investigations lead to a second murder), is what our hero has to discover The twists and turns happen against the backdrop of cruelly cold weather, the difficulties of poverty, and the political, religious and other intrigues of times give all the tension you need to keep the pages turning.Product details

The Winter Kill A Medieval Mystery Novella The Sir Law Kintour Series Book 2 edition by J R Tomlin Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
J. R. Tomlin's book is as good as we have come to expect. Characters are well developed and the storyline stays interesting throughout the book. I recommend his books to anyone interested in historical story's. Mr. Tomlin's are well researched and written so read and enjoy.
Second in a series, this book continues the adventures of lame knight Sir Law Kinture as he investigates another crime in Perth Scotland in medieval times. Authentic language and multiple mysteries drive the action.
For an interesting and enjoyable trip into the past, pick up this book and the first one in the series. Tomlin knows her history and brings it alive.
I really enjoyed the first book in the series and was looking forward to seeing Law venture into the world of solving dilemmas. But this book felt more like a short story and wasn't very complex. By the time you meet the cast of characters, the book is done. I'm not giving up though as I feel the series has great potential.
This is a well written and compelling novel. I've read all four J. R. Tomlin Sir Law Kintour novels and enjoyed them immensely. My only complaint is that they're too short. I want more! These novels would make a wonderful TV series. Perhaps we'll even see Sir Law on the big screen.
I enjoyed it, possibly because I hail from the area and it was good to "hear" the language of my early school days. I digress, it was a good read and difficult to suss out the villain too early on.
Good story. It held my interest all the way through and I very much enjoyed the inclusion of the native phrases. The ending however, left me a little unsettled. I guess it was designed to pique my interest in the next of the series. I think this was book two of the series, so, I'm going back to read book one. That may tell me more about the ending.. All in all, a good read, well worth the time.
In the time of James I of Scotland, a horrific northern winter falls on Perth and complicates an already complex and sensitive situation. A wife estranged from philandering husband, a priest having an affair and embezzling money, another Brother who fervently believes women and money are the roots of all evil in the world since Eve, the apple, and the mythical serpent. But Cormac and a nosy dog are there to assist our lame hero, and Sir Law is relentless as always. Tomlin reveals the clues bit by bit, as in any successful mystery story, and her character occasionally reveal their weaknesses as well as displaying their strengths.
