The Richest Man in Town

Francine Corry

I am hooked on the Stephen Attebrook series by Jason Vail and read them as quickly as they come out. They are always exciting and interesting.

Both Attebrook and the secondary characters are great. His sidekick Gilbert who used to be a monk, who is overly fond of food and hates to ride horses, Harry, the double amputee who used to be a beggar, but discovered a profitable skill for woodcarving and seems to be indomitable and now Ida, Attebrook's new wife all add to the clever stories.

These are set in the 13th century during Simon de Montfort's rebellion which adds to the dynamic of these tales. In this particular episode Attebrook is recruited to help the king's cause, while he is also trying to solve the mystery of the murder of the town's richest man.
