New Book Release: Elegy to Murder

Please join me in congratulating Priscilla Royal on the publication of Elegy to Murder, the sixteenth installment in her Medieval Mystery series! I had the pleasure of offering Priscilla some copyediting assistance. Here's the book description:

May 1283. The roads near Tyndal Priory are filled with happy pilgrims returning from St. Walstan’s feast day.

But all is not joyful. Prioress Eleanor’s loved ones are suffering. Signy, the local innkeeper, is quarelling with her suddenly rebellious foster son. Gytha, Crowner Ralf’s wife, suffers failing health while her husband hunts smugglers on the remote North Sea coast. Brother Thomas remains moody and aloof. She longs to help them all, but disaster strikes. An itinerant carpenter is badly beaten. A pilgrim is murdered near the priory walls.

Are the two crimes connected? Prioress Eleanor has no right to intervene in crimes outside the Church’s authority, but any delay will allow the killer to escape into the crowds of pilgrims. Until the crowner can return, she must act.

Is it too late? Will this be the first murderer she cannot bring to justice?

Elegy to Murder is available in ebook and print editions on Amazon. Add it to your shelves on Goodreads, and visit Priscilla's website for the scoop on all of her mysteries!
