Why read it?
1 author picked Fortune Like the Moon (Hawkenlye Mysteries) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I also enjoyed trying to second-guess whodunit as the Abbess and her helpmate, lord of the manor, Josse d’Acquin, solve the many crimes that come their way. And I was intrigued by the supernatural elements introduced by Alys Clare, with the abbey being situated so close to the ancient forest in the Great Weald, and how the two worlds often intertwine.
