Old Saxon Blood - Leonard Tourney

The Philadelphia Inquirer: "The fourth in the lively mystery series by this Elizabethan scholar from the University of Tulsa. The author is obviously enchanted by the period,which comes to life in his rich descriptions of these rough and bawdy times. Flavor aside, there's a well-plotted and suspenseful mystery here, which is admirably solved by the series hero, a staunch country constable named Matthew Stock."

The Anniston Star: "As much a delight as its predecessors, Tourney's new book is very special reading indeed."

Kirkus: "Tourney's fine Elizabethan mystery series continues as clothier Matthew Stock, constable of Chelmsford, goes with shrewd wife Joan to London's Bartholomew Fair - and finds himself involved with a series of grisly murders, plus an attempt to assassinate Queen Elizabeth herself... Superior period mystery with rich, gritty atmosphere (e.g., the malodorous bear garden), piquant characterization, and solidly layed plotting."
