Good second book in the Abbey Mysteries series., Oct 4 2004
By Rebecca Herman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Silent Man: The Abbey Mysteries 2 (Paperback)
This is the second 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.
Now that Gwyneth Mason and brother, Hereward, have restored the bones of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere to the Glastonbury Abbey, the town is once again prosperous, and pilgrims are once again visiting. But soon the peace in their small village is once again disturbed. Eleanor, the little daughter of the nobleman the king has chosen to oversee work on the Abbey, disappears. Suspicion falls upon Bedwyn, a gentle mute who is working on the rebuilding at the Abbey. Gwyneth and Hereward know that Bedwyn would never kidnap a child, so they set out to solve the mystery of what really happened to Eleanor.
Readers who enjoyed the first book in the Abbey Mysteries series, as well as new readers who enjoy mysteries and historical fiction, are sure to like this book. Set in England in 1190, this series combines history, mystery, and adventure for a great read. The characters are likable, and I love the historical setting.
