A well-written novel about medieval days. I really got a feel for what it was like to live in that time and place, and I learned about medieval dogs and hunting, as well. The mystery was ok, not great. I would read another Sister Frevisse book because history in this light-hearted fashion is a good read. ( )

The Hunter's Tale is a fine mystery. It involves a family in Medieval times whose life has been Hell on earth due to the rages of the father. His one true love seemed to be his hunting hounds and the hunt. No one is grieved when he is found murdered, but Dame Frevisse knows the tale cannot end there.
This story points out exactly why I love Frazer. The author has us exploring the effects on the soul of long term abuse, how people survive it and what the results may be. Also the way lies to ourselves and others can fester and destroy and how confession or simply speaking the truth and acknowledging it as truth can begin healing. Rather than being a boring treatise on such matters, it is a story in which you care deeply about the characters. I love the setting and the descriptions of the wolfhounds. Perhaps it is just me, but this did remain a mystery to me until the end. ( )

The Dame Frevisse series at its best, with murder in mid-1400's England, staring strong women characters. ( )
