A medieval pilgrim harbours murderous intentions towards the King. Can Prioress Eleanor stop him before it's too late?
Prioress Eleanor of Tyndal is on a pilgrimage, looking for peace and respite, when rumours spread that King Edward is on his way, seeking God's blessing for his recent invasion of Wales. Lurking in this sacred place, however, is an assassin with murderous treason in mind. When a nun falls to her death from the priory bell tower, is it a tragic accident, or a sign of what's to come?
Although far away from the gossipy village of Tyndal, Eleanor, like a medieval Miss Marple, must use all her wit, wisdom and insight to unravel the clues to the case.
But can Eleanor expose the killer in their midst, or will she too fall victim to one who has made a covenant with hell?

Customer review: "Every women who juggles home, work and a social life will recognise the characters."
Anna has a big birthday coming up and is planning the party to end all parties, but fate is determined to ensure that getting the guest list right is going to be traumatic. Ordering the canapés becomes fraught when just weeks before the big day she spots Jane, the catering queen, dallying on the doorstep of a man who isn't her tragically disabled husband. Then there's her best friend Glynis, a city lawyer and fashionista who has suddenly become broody, and the kids: the eldest, James pining for his lost love, off to university in the Big Smoke. And what of Anna's own lost love, Mack, the bad boy she left home for? This time when he turns up he wants to take them all back with him to the sun, sand, and surf of Hawaii. It seems that deciding on the guest list won't be the year's biggest question after all.

Product Description
Customer review: "It's a wonderfully colourful view of history…hugely readable."
This volume contains the last of Churchill’s great speeches from World War II, delivered during the final eight months of the global conflict—and the final period of his time in office. The victory expressed in this volume is mixed. These speeches detail Churchill’s public reactions to the forming of the United Nations, the death of Roosevelt, the dropping of the Atomic Bomb, and, lastly, the election that defeats him.
Perhaps most notable is the “Gestapo” speech of 1945, in which Churchill made a controversial comparison between a Socialist government and the Gestapo—an extremely charged word at that time—that many believe cost him his job as Prime Minister.
