I am a recruitment consultant with a strong interest in European medieval history, and endeavour to weave that knowledge into my story lines. My travels throughout Europe (and particularly France) over the past thirty years allows me to bring a first hand acount of the places I describe, and provides an air of authenticity to my narrative. I am a passionate and committed writer, and Pilgrimage is the first of the series featuring Jean Bellimont, Scribe of Troyes. Refer to my website for news on my upcoming book, 'The Lirey Shroud Mystery', as well as an exciting new competition where the reader is invited to guess "whodunnit"!
Great! Well paced, interesting, well informed. I have done part of that same Pilgrimage and I can tell that the author had done a lot of serious research. Thanks for writing!
This is an excellent read at several levels, and provides some interesting history lessons as well. The characters and the times are brought realistically to life.
Mr Whitton has written 3 novels in this series based on Jean Bellimont. I recommend you read them in the sequence they were written. Pigrimage is first, then A Fatal Homecoming, and finally A Convenient Solution. If you read them out of sequence it may spoil some surprises for you.
All three novels in the series are well worth reading. I very much hope Mr Whitton writes many more.
The book had an interesting enough premise but the characters, dialogue and the action were as two dimensional as the pilgrim's path they followed, fearing to venture off the road. The "surprise" twist at the end was a gimmick that added nothing to the story.
i really enjoyed this book - I felt it captured the period well, lots of atmosphere and detail. Great twist at the end - didn't see it coming! will look for other books by this author.
Interesting plot, well rounded characters and really evokes the era. I liked the humour threaded through the story and the twist at the end caught me by surprise.
