 The Fifth in The SeriesAug 21, 2006
By J. Chippindale
This is the fifth book in Michael Jeck's entertaining Knights Templar Mysteries. The main characters Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace and his friend the Bailiff Simon Puttock are now old friends to the reader. Combine the inter action between the main characters with the beautiful background of west country Devon and it is obvious that Michael Jecks is on to a winner with his increasingly popular books.
Medieval novels are becoming increasingly popular with the reading public and there are a number of well written books by authors such as Paul Doherty, Bernard Knight, Susanna Gregory, to name but a few. Michael Jecks is steadily getting himself on a par with these fine novelists.
Sir Baldwin de Furnshill and his close friend the Bailiff Simon Puttock are visiting Tavistock, as guests of the Abbot, intending to enjoy the fair and all the town has to offer. Responsible for justice in the area, the Abbot enlists the help of his friends when a headless body is found. But there is one big problem. How can they identify the victim without first finding the head?

 Love JenksSep 14, 2009
By Thomas Smith
Jenks knows how to write and tell a good story that is historically accurate. A really good "whodunit."

An enjoyable book in a delightful seriesOct 09, 2007
By L. J. Roberts
First Sentence: The sun was almost unbearably hot, the journey distinctly uncomfortable.
It is 1319 and people have come from all over to attend the Tavistock fair. Sir Baldwin Fernshill, Keeper of the King's Peace, and Simon Puttock, bailiff of Lydford have come as guests of Abbot Robert Champeaux. When a headless body is found, the Abbott asks Baldwin and Simon to investigate.
Jecks has become a favorite author of mine and I really liked this book. The sense of time and place is wonderful. The plot is interesting and kept me guessing. There's good suspense, a hint of romance and even a good chase scene, albeit on horseback. There are great characters that are fully developed to the point where I feel involved in the lives of the main characters and want to keep following their lives. This was another very enjoyable book in a delightful series.
Delightfully intenseApr 30, 2013

I have become a Michael Jecks fan. He creates a new and captivating storyline in each book, without laborious verbosity.
This and His Other Titles Are Worth The ReadSep 11, 2012
By P. Schaum
"prussblue"
This, and other Jecks titles are well researched using primary historical sources. The story lines are plausible and woven within the historical context (early 14th century England / Wales / France). I have acquired all of his titles to date (2012) even obtaining a few from England despite the postal fee. I recommend his website, [...] (do see other pages on the site; he can also be found on Facebook and Twitter).
