A Killer in Winter (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles)

Christmas approaches in 1354 and the town is gripped by the worst blizzards in living memory. The weather has trapped many travellers in the town, including Matthew's erstwhile love, Philippa, and her wealthy husband. In some ways he is relieved to accept Brother Michael's orders to identify a man found dead in a nearby church. However, it soon comes to light that the man was Philippa's husband's servant, and soon her husband himself is found dead. Was it an accident, or a more sinister death?
