Another great book from the Abbey Mysteries series., May 22 2005
By Rebecca Herman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Scarlet Spring: The Abbey Mysteries 3 (Paperback)
This is the third book in the Abbey Mysteries series, which is about thirteen-year-old Gwyneth Mason and her younger brother, Hereward, who live in Glastonbury, England, in 1190.
When Nathaniel de Bere, a guest at their father's inn, is murdered, the adults warn Gwyneth and Hereward not to get involved. They may have solved other mysteries, but this time a man is dead and it's just too dangerous. Gwyneth and Hereward resent this, and decide to investigate the mystery on their own anyway. They learn Nathaniel de Bere was involved in a poisoning plot -- could he have been killed to keep him silent? Or was he killed over the treasure he was searching for in Glastonbury? Gwyneth and Hereward are determined to find the truth, but it leads them to suspect people they know well, people who are their friends.
Readers who enjoyed the first two books about Gwyneth and Hereward are sure to enjoy this one as well. As with the previous books, the Medieval setting is very well done and the story is a real page-turner. I look forward to reading the fourth book in this series and seeing what adventures the Mason children experience next.
