Magdalene la Btarde is the madam of the Old Priory Guesthouse in Southwark. People expect her and her women to indulge in a number of sinful activities, but bloody murder isnt one of them. Then Baldassare, the messenger, dies. The Bishop of Winchester, who was served for many years by Baldassare, puts Sir Bellamy of Itchen, his most trusted knight, in charge of the investigation.

Very enjoyable. Read by Nadia May, the same wonderful narrator as in "The Dress Lodger," who contributes equally well to this novel.......more
