Cerdic, a young boy who has the ability to see into the future, has a mysterious treasure in his possession. A blind old woman once gave him a miniature knife with an ivory bear hilt - the symbol of King Arthur - and told him that when the time comes he will know what he has to do with it. But when he and his brother, Baradoc, are enlisted into King Arthur's army, he finds that trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes. When Baradoc dies fighting with King Arthur in an ambush of the Saxons on Solsbury Hill, Cerdic buries the dagger in the side of the hill as a personal tribute to his brother.

Throughout history, Solsbury Hill continues to be the scene of murder, theft and the search for buried treasure. Religion, politics and the spirit of King Arthur reign over the region, wreaking havoc and leaving a trail of corpses and treasure buried in the hill as an indication of its turbulent past.

Ok.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2013

These books are ok for a casual read, due to their nature, having been written by 6 different crime authors (Each writes a chapter & passes it on) they can be a little disjointed at times & sometimes I find myself wondering, "what was the point of that chapter"? But, they are not awful & I find them handy if I don't have much time to dedicate to a page turner, as these are quite easy to put down again.

A welcome addition to the series. The stories are well written and flow along in a way that demands you find out what happens next

I have read previous 'Medieval Murderers' before and this one did not disappoint. Clever writing by different Authors all bound up within one book. I enjoyed the ending - clever finish. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Pile of Rubbish

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a collection of short murder mysteries by five well known crime writers. The stories are set in different historical periods, but are connected by what is intended to be a continuous theme and a common location on a hill near Bath. The consecutive authorship has led to poor continuity, irregularity of style and lack of correlation of the several parts. I get the impression that none of the authors bothered to look at the others' work. This might have been cured by better editorial control.
Looking at each part, i.e. the work of each individual author, every tale suffers from poor characterisation, historical errors and textual inconsistencies. The English style is poor and often obscure.
The whole is even less than the sum of its parts.
I have not read any other books in the series, but if this is a typical example, I would not reccommend them.
