First in a new templar knight mystery series.
I liked it and want to see how his journey of self and the mysteries he gets into will be solved.
He has been a templar, in the east. Got caught by the Saracens and suffered long years of captivity. Has lost an eye, gotten a bad leg, starting to lose his faith and has saved a mute Italian boy.
He arrives in England, as John becomes king. Thin and weary in mind and
body he is sent to Lincoln castle to regain his strenth. Then the mystery starts and I think we're on a ride to some good reading.

Maureen Ash provides the second of her Templar Knight series. The story is enjoyable and direct, with a touch of historic humor. The author has devoted a greater part of this novel to developing the supporting characters, and does a good job. However, this story is not as robust as the Alehouse Murders.
Rated by buyers -
Maureen Ash was a new author to me until I read the Alehouse Murders and I believe that was in fact her very first book. As I always like to try new writers when I can find them I was happy to read the book and I found it good, light and interesting reading. The type of book where you do not have to try too hard to understand the plot. A tried and tested storyline used by many of the top writers of historical mystery fiction.
A knight from the Templar Order, back in England after eight years of captivity in the Holy Land. Weary in both body and soul, Bascot de Marins injuries have affected his body quite badly but not his fertile mind and as he seeks to regain his strength and well-being while on a stay at the castle in Lincoln, he is on the look-out for something to exercise a mind that has lain fallow, during his long years of captivity.
Well, after cutting his teeth in the novel The Alehouse Murders, Bascot de Marins is more than ready to try to solve another mystery and in this second book Death of a Squire he gets his chance. Templar Bascot de Marins is given the task of unearthing the truth when a young squire's body is found hanging from a tree. Could the young man have taken his own life? De Marins is certain that he did not. Is the squire's death related in any way to a meeting that is to take place within the confines of Lincoln castle, a meeting of King's no less . . .
