Thank you very much for this lovely Christmas surprise and the stollen biscuits and tree decorations. And of course the wonderful train! I will post a photograph of all these wonderful things when we eventually get some daylight in this county!

I love the Crowner John mysteries especially as I lived in Exeter when I was very young boy. If you compare the 12th century map of the city, in the front of the book, with a modern day street map you will find the layout has hardly changed!

Finished this a couple of weeks ago and forgot to journal it. Sorry.

I always enjoy these as they are set mostly in 12th century Exeter, the city where I spent the first five years of my life. If you compare the street map of today with the one in the book, it's very recognisable.

Thanks for sharing and sorry for taking so long to get round to reading it.
