review 1: Loved this 2nd installment of King Cnut series by Danish author Martin Jensen. It wasn't as good as the 1st but I think that's pretty typical for me (to like the 2nd of a series that is). Halfdan and Winston have to figure out who killed the murder victim - this one killed in the church. These aren't just good mysteries they're funny too. I find myself laughing out loud quite a bit - mostly at Halfdan, but there are other funny moments as well. These are good solid historical mysteries. Can't wait for the next one!
review 2: This was much better than the first book in the series! I did struggle with the political hierarchies - Danes, Saxons, Vikings, thanes, ealdormen, jarls, etc. are not really my thing - but I did find the plot and characters more entertaini... moreng than the first book. I hope Elvina appears again the series. She's feisty! Though I've mentioned not liking the first book as much, I do think it provides excellent background on the main characters, Halfdan and Winston, and their relationship with King Cnut. And honestly, it wasn't a bad book, it's just that this one is better. less
