Susanna Gregory

    Susanna Gregory verwebt meisterhaft historische Mysterien und taucht mit außergewöhnlicher Recherche und lebendigen Details in die harten Realitäten des mittelalterlichen Lebens ein. Ihre Erzählungen erkunden oft dunkle Perioden und kontrastieren Aberglauben mit den Anfängen der medizinischen Wissenschaft und des kritischen Denkens. Die Autorin versteht es hervorragend, komplexe Handlungsstränge mit fesselnden Charakterstudien zu verbinden und die oft elenden Bedingungen des Mittelalters lebendig werden zu lassen. Ihr unverwechselbarer Ansatz bietet den Lesern eine einzigartig fesselnde, recherchebasierte Reise in die Vergangenheit.

      In another historical adventure from Susanna Gregory, Chaloner the spy investigates a murder in a plague-ravaged 17th century London The plague raging through London in 1665 has emptied the city. The only people left are those too poor to flee, or those who selflessly struggle to control the contagion and safeguard the capital's future. Amongst them, though, are those prepared to risk their health for money - those who sell dubious 'cures' and hawk food at wildly inflated prices. Also amongst them are those who hold in their hands the future of the city's most iconic building - St Paul's Cathedral. The handsome edifice is crumbling from decades of neglect and indecision, giving the current custodians a stark choice - repair or demolish. Both sides have fanatical adherents who have been fighting each other since the Civil Wars. Large sums of money have disappeared, major players have mysteriously vanished, and then a unidentified skeleton is discovered in another man's grave. A reluctant Chaloner returns to London to investigate, only to discover that someone is determined to thwart him by any means - by bullet, poison or bludgeon - and he fears he has very little time to identify the culprits before he becomes yet another victim in the battle for the Cathedral's future.

      The twenty first chronicle in the Matthew Bartholomew series. In 1358, over a century after its foundation in Cambridge, the college of Michaelhouse is facing a serious shortfall of funds and competition from upstarts rivals such as Zachary Hostel. Their problems are made no easier by the hostility of the town's inhabitants who favour the university moving away to the Fens. This simmering tension threatens to break into violence when a well-known tradesman is found dead in one of the colleges. Matthew Bartholomew knows he was poisoned but cannot identify the actual substance, never mind the killer. He also worries that other illnesses and deaths may have been caused by the effluent from his sister's dye works. Torn between loyalties to his kin and to his college, he fears the truth may destroy both his personal and professional life, but he knows he must use his skills as a physician to discover the truth before many more lose their lives entirely. 'A first-rate treat for mystery lovers' (Historical Novels Review) 'Susanna Gregory has an extraordinary ability to conjure up a strong sense of time and place' (Choice)
