As we begin a new day I wanted to share a new novel with you The Plowman’s Plight: A Medieval Mystery (Carcassonne Mysteries Book 1) by E. A. Rivière (Author) . I received a PDF copy of the book from Voracious Readers in exchange for this review. Inside this post are my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchased.
The Plowman’s Plight: A Medieval Mystery (Carcassonne Mysteries Book 1) is a Medieval Mystery novel which sets it in the Mystery genre. The Author has the plot of the book in set in what is now known as France during the Middle Ages. In a usually peaceful village young girls who are killed using horrific methods. Which may be hard for some people including myself to read and because of this I wouldn’t let my son read the book but it shouldn’t stop you from checking out the book for yourself.
Throughout the story I kept asking myself who could the killer be and why was he killing young girls . Be prepare for a collaboration between a plowman, a young girl and a mystic who solve the murders and bring the murderer to justice? Before you ask if there is romance just a tiny bit at the beginning of the novel but if I was asked if there is a enough romance to make this a romance novel no.
About the Book:
An outlaw plowman falsely accused of murder
An alchemist’s virgin who is more than she seems
A fiendish murderer hiding in open sight
Cathar Country, (now) Southern France, year: 1200.
When the woodcutter’s only daughter is murdered, the bailiff tries to arrest Bertwoin the Plowman, who flees to a master alchemist and his professional virgin, Flowia, for help.
Bertwoin must find the brutal killer while the grieving woodcutter, the relentless bailiff, and righteous monks pursue him. His search for clues takes him to the corpse room inside an abbey, to a torture pit near the Devil’s Doorstep, and to the accursed home of a heretic priest.
When monks capture him, wily Flowia rescues Bertwoin from the Bishop’s dungeon and hides with him where no one would think to look for them.
To save his own life and another life as precious as his own, Bertwoin must outwit this sadistic killer who hunts them . . . and who knows how to find them.
Meet the Author: E. A. Rivière
As for myself, I live in a magical forest where mice claiming to be cousins move in for the winter then take the towels when they leave in spring. I am an award-winning author (as Erik Bundy), a graduate of the six-week Odyssey Fantasy Writing Workshop, and a grand prize winner of the Sidney Lanier Poetry Competition.
More than thirty of my stories and poems have been published, and Untold Press published my novel, Magic and Murder Among the Dwarves. A sequel novel, The Dwarf Assassin, was also published. Unlike many writers, I don’t keep a cat in deference to my mouse cousins and because I couldn’t live up to its expectations.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
