Many people might not have heard of William the Conqueror and 1066, or
the battle in Sussex, beyond knowing of King Harold's horrible death
by an arrow in eye. But William was a charismatic and vibrant figure
and the Battle at Hastings was a central moment in European history.
William and Harold, two warriors at the height of their powers and
their history is recorded in the ancient Bayeux tapestry. With three
films to be made of these dramatic events, interest will be high, so
be prepared and read of the mysterious and intriguing events portrayed
in the Bayeux tapestry, which features in the second Belinda Lawrence
mystery novel, THE EMBROIDERED CORPSE. Join Belinda in her search for
the solution to the secret hidden in the tapestry – and unravel this
exciting murder mystery!
THE EMBROIDERED CORPSE a Belinda Lawrence mystery.
“I’m not terribly familiar with this period of history but my inner
conspiracy theorist was thoroughly engaged by the well-researched
details and intriguing speculations about the Bayeux Tapestry, the
historical events it portrays and the royal lineage of England. The
resolution to the story was very much in keeping with the events that
preceded it (not always a given in crime fiction these days) although
far more gruesome than the average ‘cosy’ reader might like.
All in all this is a thoroughly entertaining read and especially
recommended to those who enjoy stories with a historical twist.”
My rating 3.5/5Bernadetteinoz
