The day after a Gothic door is returned to its original place in the Mottisham village church, two men are found dead. The Welsh villagers, closed and suspicious of outsiders, believe their deaths were not accidental, but part of an ancient legend that told of an unrepentant monk who tried to enter to the church by grasping the door's iron knocker.©1970 Ellis Peters (P)1994 Recorded Books, LLC Thriller & Suspense Suspense

As usual with Ellis Peters, the characters were engaging, the story was interesting, and the ending was gripping! Simon Prebble is a wonderful reader, and was in top form for this book. He gives each character his or her own voice, different point of view, and varying emotional depth. At the end, the murderer was creepily amoral, and the unlikely hero just wrung my heart.

Ellis Peters & Simon Prebble are a great combo, and this is a wonderful book! Please, Audible, get all of the "Recorded Books" recordings of Ellis Peters books that you can!!!!!!!

More Inspector Felse, please!

Great reader of a wonderful author, bravo to this pairing of talents!! Although I love the Cadfael series best, this series is engaging and entertaining. It was a delight to learn that Ellis Peters is the pen name of a female author, I’m curious to learn more about her.

Love the reader and author!!

As all Ellis Peters/Edith Pargeter Books, this is a study of character in the context of time and place first and a murder mystery second. Yet it is one of the most intelligent and beguiling mysteries in the genre, sure to appease those mystery fans who say they don’t “get” Ellis Peters because she occasionally loses interest in the mystery in favor of the people involved. Here the characters are as fascinating and unique as any Jane Austen creation, yet the intrigue will entertain, and puzzle, anyone who thinks they know all the tropes. A wonderful combination of mystery, love story, and human observation.

The story develops rapidly and holds the readers attention throughout with twists and turns toward the culmination of the murder(s). Has some humor as well, which delights.

Highly enjoyable
