A Play of Knaves by Margaret Frazer

This book is a delightful entry in Frazer's Joliffe series. Here, Joliffe and company get asked to find out what's behind the bad blood in a town near the Berkshire White Horse. The Joliffe stories always seem to have more mystery in them than the Dame Frevisse stories, although these books are all great for their historical content. Frazer has a great way of bringing the rhythms of the past to life.
