"The Witch of Godstow Abbey, second in the "Murders in the Abbey" series, is perhaps even a bit more engaging than the first book (but equally enjoyable). The pace is faster, the characters more deeply drawn and the resolution even more of a surprise... a delightful walk through a seldom featured period of time with a robust set of players and a rich mystery."-Rob Givens

"The authors truly have written a mystery book! A murder mystery, a mystery of the occult, and the mystery of time travel in a dream state. The character development is interesting with new facets of the characters introduced periodically throughout the book. The authors were able to make one of the protagonists, the Friar, a sincerely hated character at the start and make him into someone moderately liked or tolerated at the end."-John DeBeer
