Why read it?
1 author picked The Anger of God as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Nobody writes historical mysteries quite like Paul Doherty, and his Brother Athelstan series is one of my absolute favourites.
But Doherty is so prolific that I am still catching up with his work, and The Anger of God is, in fact, the fourth tale to feature the sleuthing friar and his Falstaffian friend Sir John Cranston.
As you would expect from Paul Doherty, the medieval period is vividly evoked, and the plot is an incredibly complicated mystery featuring seemingly impossible murders, the theft of several severed heads, not to mention demonic possession!
