The Credition Killings: A Knights Templar Mystery by Michael Jecks 386 pp.
In 14th century England, a band of unruly mercenaries has descended on the town of Credition. When someone steals silver from Sir Hector, the leader of the mercenaries, Sir Baldwin Furnshill and his assistant begin investigating. Suspicion falls on the newest member of the band and the young man is arrested. A young barmaid is found dead and the thief is blamed until a beggar woman is also murdered while he was in custody. Soon a relationship between the dead women and Sir Hector is revealed and suspicion falls back on him. I enjoy mysteries set in medieval times but this one was rather bland and disappointing. I doubt I'll continue with this series.
