The barrel should have contained books - instead it held treasure and a severed head...

Gil Cunningham and his old acquaintance, Glasgow merchant Augie Morison, expecting a delivery of books from the Low Countries, report the gruesome substitute to the Provost, and at the inquest the next morning Morison is accused of the murder and imprisoned. He appeals to Gil, who sets out with his friend and future father in law Maistre Pierre, the French master-mason, to find the treasure's owner, trace the barrel and identify the dead man.

The trail they follow leads them from the court of James IV at Stirling via a cooper's yard in Linlithgow, to another death on the bare slopes of the Pentland Hills.

A Wonderful Merchant's Mark Mystery!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2021

Verified Purchase

Read this book in 2010, and its the 3rd volume of the delightful "Gilbert Cunningham" series.

This book in once interwoven with Scots to make this mystery series as authentic as possible, and thus, at least for me, an enormous joy to read.

In this mystery, Gilbert Cunningham together with an old acquaintance of his called, Dougie Morison, are expecting a delivery of books but instead what they will discover is a severed head.

At the inquest this same Morison is accused of murder and imprisoned, but Gilbert believes in his innocence, and so sets out to find the culprit behind this gruesome find and murder.

This investigation will take Gilbert Cunningham from Glasgow to King James IV's court in Stirling, and so along to a cooper's yard in Linlithgow, towards another murder in the Pentland Hills.

What is to follow is an intriguing and thrilling Scottish mystery, in which Gilbert Cunningham will have ti face some twists and turns, before finally being able in a superbly worked plot to reveal the culprit of these murders and bring him to justice in the Scottish way.

Highly recommended, for this another excellent Scottish mystery to this amazing series, and that's why I like to call this episode: "A Wonderful Merchant's Mark Mystery"!

Another Enthralling Chapter.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 October 2009

I really enjoy these stories about Gil Cunningham and his quest to right wrongs; this is the third enstalment and all stories take place just a few months from the last one. It therefore makes sense to read them in sequence.

In this tale Gil is aided and abetted once more by his soon to be father-in-law and his equally bright fiancee.
The previous story introduced Gil's mother, this story brings in his disabled sister. I was worried that she may be a bit of a predictable character but, though bitterly disappointed with her lot, she proves to all (especially herself) to be quite fiesty and determined.

The story revolves around the fact that a severed head is found in a barrel that should contain books and the wrong man gets arrested. The main protagonists in the story are really Gil's sister Kate and his fiancee Alys. This is not to say that Gil isn't busy being thrown into a mix that involves lying nobles, a spooky and terrifying encounter in Rosslyn Chapel and a tennis match with the king.

The detail of the period is well written and informative and the love story, between various characters, is appealing. There are some broad Scots words that are lost on me and I did wonder if a glossary would have been helpful but in the end I just look things up on the internet. For example, I did find that the lady who had a significant tocher would not be in need of a medieval plastic surgeon but would probable find herself a pretty good husband (a tocher being a type of dowry).

All in all a great and interesting read. Keep them coming.

This is a series worth reading!

Although it feels like a foreign language- once through the pronunciation and familiarising- I can't put them down. We only ever have the English version of the 15th and 16th century Scotland, I now find I'm looking forward to the next volume - with the possibility of two weddings! Can't wait!

Had to work on this bok

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2016

A lot of characters and relationships and, as with many historical tales, some have different names and titles on different occasions. The add it use of Scottish dialect for me made it harder to read, understand and enjoy.

Amazon Customer

A must for all mystery lovers or Glaswegians.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2013

A very engaging story with historic Glasgow as the venue. Accurate observation of place and vocabulary help this good little mystery to move with good pace to a satisfactory conclusion.
A good read, as part of the triligy.
