Review: The Turn of Midnight
The Turn of Midnight by Minette Walters
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Turn Of Midnight is the follow up to The Last Hours, which introduced the Black Death arriving in Dorsetshire.
The Turn of Midnight is about the aftermath of this plague and the problems faced.
As the year1349 approaches, the quarantine imposed by Lady Anne for everyone in Develish is still in place to protect them all. As Lady Anne has kept her people safe, to say they were loyal to her is an understatement.
With food supplies dwindling, Thaddeus Thurkell is sent off with a small group of men to find out what is happening in the area. Minette Walters has clearly done a lot of research to give the tale such a realistic feel to it, including the social and political atmosphere of the time.
It’s a great piece of historical fiction covering a bleak period of history and has plenty of twists and turns along the way. I can thoroughly recommend it.
Thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review
