marystevens's review against another edition
4.0
The title is a direct quote from a 1325 journal which mentions the crimes, terrorism and atrocities described in this novel - and this series. Here Sir Baldwin de Furnshill and Bailiff Simon Puttock return from Paris with the news that King Edward II's wife and son, whom they were meant to fetch home, are voluntarily staying in France, and possibly plotting an invasion. Dismissed without reward or thanks :) they return home to Devon where all is not well. Shortly before their arrival a fairly large party of clerics, men, women and children had been found slaughtered in a woods just off the road to Exeter. Even the dogs were killed. No clues from the initial investigation. So Sir Baldwin and Simon go after the killers.
