Lord of the Abbey by K R Richards
I persevered with this story mainly because of the multiple
mystery threads that ran through it and because I was intrigued about how the
author would tie in ‘Holy Grail’ aspects to the Dissolution of the Monasteries
in the Tudor era. There was certainly plenty of action for the large cast of
characters, most of whom were very likeable and lots of finds by the end of the
story. The references to friends and relatives of Jesus at the end seemed
rushed and misplaced but they made me intrigued sufficiently to investigate
further any true historical connections.
There were some aspects that spoiled my read; otherwise the
grade given would have been higher. There were many instances of repetition
throughout the novel that a thorough edit should have eliminated and which
should have tidied up other inaccuracies in sentence construction which jarred
me out of my reading flow.
