Cruel as the Grave by Sharon Kay Penman

4.0

Another enjoyable entry in the series. The overall development of the protagonist was somewhat limited in this engaging story, but my main gripe would be that the secondary characters, such as Nell, Jonas and Hugh, don't get much to do. Even so, we see meaningful developments with Justin and Claudine's relationship, and an over-arching story of interest as Justin doggedly investigates the death of a young Welsh girl. Looking forward to the next in the series.
