The Embroidered Corpse (Belinda Lawrence Mystery Book 2)
by Brian Kavanagh
In a quiet English village two bodies are discovered.
Both murdered.
But it is the manner of the death that most startles amateur detective Belinda Lawrence.
They were both slain in a way that perfectly replicates the death a medieval English king.
But why?
There appears to be no motive for so elaborate a crime.
But after she stumbles across a mysterious ancient tapestry, Belinda Lawrence and her associate Hazel Whitby are drawn into a terrifying conspiracy involving a bizarre religious cult, an enigmatic academic, a group of secretive monks — and a mystery that dates back nearly a thousand years old.
And it soon becomes apparent that The Embroidered Corpse will not be the last dead body – Belinda’s own life is at stake.
The Embroidered Corpse is a brilliant re-invention of the classic English village murder mystery, following on from the best-selling Capable of Murder.
Belinda Lawrence is a lively young heroine who pits her intellect against cold-blooded and ruthless killers – a character who is among the most memorable and engaging in modern detective fiction.
