The Boy's Tale by Margaret Frazer

This mystery finds Dame Frevisse taking more responsibility for herself as Domina Edith's illness prevents her from taking an active hand in the daily affairs of the convent. I appreciated the way that Frazer picked up the threads and hints from earlier mysteries, although the politics of England in this period are still a little bit beyond me. I thought the identity of the criminal was particularly well-hidden (but not in an unfair way) in this story.
