When a royal servant is murdered, Templar Bascot de Marins is once again called upon to serve justice—and protect a royal secret.
NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED
As King Phillip of France leads a devastating attack on Normandy, defection spreads among once-loyal English vassals. King John is even forced to imprison his own nephew Arthur for treacherous acts. And when Arthur suddenly disappears, John must keep his mysterious absence a closely guarded secret, or face even greater dissent among the nobles.
Fleeing Normandy, King John and Queen Isabella hope to find safe haven at their royal residence in Canterbury. But they soon discover that no haven is truly safe. When one of John’s servants is murdered, it seems that he and Isabella were the intended targets. John suspects the murderer was a Breton bent on avenging Arthur. Asking Templar Bascot de Marins to investigate the crime, he also asks him to protect the secret of Arthur’s disappearance. But as Bascot and his protégé Gianni follow the murderer’s trail, they find themselves caught between the King’s machinations and the constraints of justice.

King John of England is in his townhouse in Canterbury having his bath prepared by his washerwomen when she is murdered from behind. Later the townhouse steward is poisoned. King John sends for Templar Bascot de Marins to find the murderer, why these people killed and was this part of a plot on King John's own life?This is a good mystery and can keep the reader guessing until the end. The characters are all well rounded and fleshed out. The dialogue and descriptions seem very accurate and interesting. One can get a good feel of what early 13th century England was like at this time and the problems besetting King John.
I was glad to see William Marshall appear in this novel to help out. William Marshall was the greatest knight that ever lived, undefeated in tournaments and faithful unto death to any to whom he swore an oath of fidelity. Sadly, he is often overlooked in the history of England which would be like overlooking Babe Ruth in a history of baseball. I hope to see more of him in future novels.

The Canterbury Murders Templar Knight Mystery Book 7 eBook Maureen Ash Reviews
How contemporary the events in history are. Treason, jealousy, pride & anger all mixed in with anger control issues is a great description of King John. This author truly brings him to unpleasant life.
Ms Ash does not disappoint with her series of books involving the sleuthing of Bascote and Gianni during the reign of King John. This adventure is another one of her relatively short novels involving the disappearance of John's nephew Arthur and the intrigues of the court Bascote and Gianni continue their on again off again mentor student relationship and it's interplay lends humanity to the story
I have been remiss in giving these books the positive ratings that they deserve. This is a very enjoyable series with a good sense of history, and likeable and beievable characters.
For a fan of medieval mysteries, this book is satisfying and is unusual in being about King John of England , even to the point of depicting his better nature. The mystery itself is clever enough, and there is suspense. It is always fun to have a mystery solved by reason alone without technology or later inventions. Still there was something missing from the book, such as character development or enough historical background
I have trouble enjoying a book with an unlikable hero and it took me a fair while to warm to the main character in this series. Once I did I found this to be a reasonable medieval read.
Period detail was good, but not perfect. Some points rubbed me as a little unlikely, but there were no glaring anachronisms of the kind that lead to me to throw books about with violence.
Sir Bascot de Marins is certainly no Cadfael or Shardlake but this provides a workmanlike mystery with a nice process of detection through to resolution. While not being the best of the genre, this was worth a read for fans of medieval mysteries.

The action takes place almost entirely outside of Lincoln and some of the supporting characters we know from previous stories are therefore missing. The main character, of course, is the Templar knight Bascot de Marins and he once again solves the mystery. The book lays down an intriguing red herring in the death of King john's nephew Arthur (still open to speculation) and uses it as a plot device to introduce King John more fully, as well as some new supporting characters that I suspect we will see again. The mystery side is well done - enough clues to keep you guessing but in doubt until close to the end - and the book has the usual historical elements (although these the historical details are somewhat fewer than in some of the previous stories, as this one uses broader aspects of the history of that time). A good mystery and a good look into the politics and atmosphere of 13th century England.
King John of England and Duke of Normandy was at Rouen Castle in Normandy where his nephew Arthur was imprisoned.
In a fit of temper John hit out at his nephew who fell and was badly hurt. Leaving him in the care of monks, John and his entourage travelled back to England, to his townhouse in Canterbury. His faithful washerwoman was preparing John's bath when she was partially drowned and then her throat was slashed, while both John and his wife Isabella were in an adjoining bedchamber. The steward of the Townhouse was poisoned. King John asked Templar Sir Bascot de Marins to look into the murders and find out why these two servants were killed. Another very interesting story in the Templar series.
