I'm not sure whether this was a series, but if so it is well worth seeing. Seemed to be approx. 20-25 years old, perhaps more. It took me the longest time to place the voice of the villainous lord of the manor; he was played by Graham Crowden, Tom on WAITING FOR GOD. --- PPoint 2.00 * Origin: Point of No Deposit, No Return (1:153/404.11) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 244 MYSTERY Ref: DEF00000 Date: 10/04/96 From: OIRADM9@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Time: 12:18am \/To: ALL (Read 4 times) Subj: Shadow of Death by Sharon Newman Path: news.planetc.com!uunet!in3.uu.net!feed1.news.erols.com!howland.erols.net!newss erver.jvnc.net!paperboy.uconn.edu!UConnVM.UConn.Edu!OIRADM9 From: OIRADM9@UConnVM.UConn.Edu (Tara) Newsgroups: rec.arts.books.hist-fiction,rec.arts,mystery Subject: Shadow of Death by Sharon Newman Date: Fri, 04 Oct 96 07:22:19 EDT Organization: University of Connecticut Lines: 12 Message-ID: <1781667ABS86.OIRADM9@UConnVM.UConn.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: vm.ucc.uconn.edu "Shadow of Death" by Sharan Newman is a medieval murder mystery featuring Catherine LeVendeur. The mystery begins in France in 1141. Catherine and her husband make a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Other pilgrams on the journey are four elderly crusaders whose sinning may not be entirely in the past, an abbot and his entourage, a bishop, Catherine's father and his brother and nephew, and other pilgrams with secrets from their pasts. This is the fourth of a mystery series. The first three mysteries, in order, are: "Death Comes As Epiphany", "The Devil's Door", and "The Wandering Arm". This series is interesting both as historical fiction and as mysteries. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/Wildcat5! v2.0GI * Origin: Vegas PlayGround!

It had been recommended by a few friends (Betty and Suzze, if I remember right). It was a terrific story with great, fully developed characters and many subplots to keep the story moving along at a fast pace. The heroine is the trainer of bloodhounds, used for rescuing lost people in the swamps of southern Georgia (kids, oldsters as well as escaped convicts). The two main plots revolve around the attempted murder of her exhusband and the unraveling of her father's peculiar will. Jo Beth is surrounded by many strange and interesting friends who all combine to make wonderful cohorts in this story. The sense of place is done exceptionally well..I honestly felt I was traveling through the swamps with her. This might be a good story to read when the snow starts to fly this winter . Needless to say I'm now going to look for her next book, "The house in bloodhound lane". <<< Debbie >>> --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: chocolate, Chocolate, CHOCOLATE: Roch, NY (1:2613/321.1)
