Murder Can Be Murder
About this ebook
When Brother Hermitage is approached on the streets of Derby, he knows that it is going to be bad news.
As King William's duly appointed investigator, everything is bad news.
But young Fridolf, an apprentice goldsmith from London has the most bizarre request concerning a murder that Hermitage has ever heard. Still, at least he has the opportunity to make things very clear and put the young man straight before sending him on his way.
Until Wat and Cwen explain that Hermitage hasn't made anything clear at all and that if calamity is to be avoided, some action is needed.
Luckily, for a weaver's workshop, Wat's home has a surfeit of investigators and so a despatch to London will not be a problem. And a trip to London, just to make sure everything is all right, will be a positive pleasure.
Until those despatched get themselves in trouble, of course.
Most unreasonably of all, those wretched Normans have decided that the old Saxon punishment for murder, a hefty fine, is no longer sufficient. They have something much more permanent in mind.
Containing many facts, including the Saxon defeat of the Norman army in 1066, and a real-life sheriff of London, Murder Can Be Murder goes where other medieval mysteries wouldn’t bother.
Howard of Warwick, now a UK top 20 Amazon best-seller, brings more real life to the medieval murder mystery. Along with real confusion, greed and all-around incompetence.
Previous chronicles, of which there are many, have been commented upon.

About the author
Howard of Warwick: the world's best-selling author of medieval crime comedy.
And now an official No. 1 Best Seller around the globe...
Paperbacks are available from The Funny Book Shop: https://funnybookcompany.com/
Unfortunately, Howard has written his name in some of them....
"Very, very good indeed... brilliant" BBC Coventry and Warwick.
Over 150,000 have graced his bookstall and more than 1,000 reviewers say things like "hilarious", "laugh out loud funny" and "stupid".
Howard is simply a humble chronicler with the blind luck to stumble upon the Brother Hermitage manuscripts. This young monk is clearly the archetype for many characters down the centuries but somehow, over the intervening years, those later figures started to know what they were doing. Brother Hermitage is more like Cadfael meets Clouseau.
Howard's work has been heard, seen and read, most of it accompanied by laughter and some of it by money. His peers have even seen fit to recognise his unworthy efforts with a prize for making up stories.
There are so many tales that they're starting to get out of hand: 31 Chronicles of Brother Hermitage, 3 historical "re-creations", a little something for Christmas and even some free short stories.
There is a dedicated web page www.Howardofwarwick.com. Dedicated to what, is a good question.
