Crispin Guest Medieval Noir

review 1: Jeri Westerson's The Demon's Parchment has twists and turns that are amazing. Before I figured out one, there was another. I was grabbed right from the first two pages and gladly kept on reading. Crispin Guest certainly gets himself into difficulty to danger quickly. It appeared to me that he did this more rapidly in this 'Medieval Noir'than any of the others, and I have read all of Westerson's Medieval Noirs involving Crispin Guest. The kicker is in the 'Afterward' when I discovered that the plot is taken from a true historical account from France about 100 years after Crispin 'lives' and one of the characters is found in arrest records from 1395 London. "Truth is stranger than fiction" is illustrated in The Demon's Parchment.
review 2: The Crispin Guest... more mystery novels are very intriguing and a great history lesson, each one. Crispin and Jack are characters who rapidly grow on one, and I, personally,am excited about having more books in the series to look forward to. The Demon's Parchment draws one into an extremely dark, horrifying tale of the eternal hatred of Christians for Jews, the lies and dreadful tales created in order to cast the entire race out of nations, and the tragedies which follow! Crispin is evolving as a force of right against wrong, a great ally of truth against falsehood, and continually having to think quickly on his feet, trying to sort out allies from enemies. Greatly recommend this book, and the series as read so far! less
