The Lord Bishop's Clerk by Sarah Hawkswood
A Bradecote and Catchpoll Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: The History Press
What we know about the characters: Hugh Bradecote is a vassal lord of the Sheriff, William de Beauchamp, and the Sheriff's Serjeant is the wily Catchpoll. For more information about their first investigation, see a synopsis of the book, below.
June 1143: The Lord Bishop of Winchester's Clerk is bludgeoned to death in Pershore Abbey, and laid before the altar in the attitude of a penitent. Everyone who had contact with him had reason to dislike him, but who had reason to kill him?
The Sheriff of Worcestershire's thief taker, the wily Serjeant Catchpoll, and his new and unwanted superior, Acting Under-Sheriff Hugh Bradecote, have to find the answer when nobody wants the murderer apprehended — until the next death.
