I started reading this hoping for a fun, cozy read and one that would take me to a different time. Instead I found myself bored and irritated by the characters and plot. I hated each character and thought the tragic incident that sets everything off laughable as it was so absurd and over the top I just couldn’t understand why it triggered the murders. I found the whole mystery boring and not really a mystery. I am a bit disappointed to be honest and was expecting something that at least would grab my attention. If you like reading about unlikeable characters that don’t make much sense and murders that happen to people you couldn’t care less about then this is perfect for you.

Ugh I ended this wanting a honest to goodness revenge story, Bx2 being arrested fell rather flat.

The fourth book in the Inspector Cockrill mystery series. A medieval pageant featuring knights in shining armor and a damsel in distress is created as part of a grand exhibition. When several of the cast members receive death threats, and one of them dies, Inspector Cockrill must find the killer before any one else dies. A fun series for fans of mysteries set in England and Golden Age mysteries.
