Sinopsis

Midsummer, 1145. Walter, the steward of Evesham Abbey, is found dead at the bottom of a well pit. The Abbot, whose relationship with the lord Sheriff of Worcestershire is strained at best, dislikes needing to call in help. However, as the death appears to have not been an accident, he grudgingly receives Undersheriff Hugh Bradecote, Serjeant Catchpoll and Underserjeant Walkelin. The trio know to step carefully with the contentious undercurrents at play.
As the sheriff's men investigate the steward's death, they discover that truth is in short supply. With the tensions between the Abbey and the local castle guard reaching boiling point, another killing will force the investigation down a dangerous path.

    'Let me tell you, I LOVED THIS BOOK! The setting, the characters, the plot, and even the ending…I just could not put this one down. Filled with humor and thriller vibes, this is this years MUST Summer read’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐What happens when a serial killer forgets that he’s a serial killer?  
    At Sunset House the tea is barely introduced to a teabag, the carpets are permanently flecked with glitter and care assistant Jolene would rather be watching daytime television than caring for the elderly – but someone might just have confessed to murder. 
    Most think Gilbert’s sudden claim – ‘When I killed her’ – is likely to be the dementia talking. Or a spoiler for Midsomer Murders. Probably. Now, between bingo, staff drama and a suspicious game of pass the parcel, someone’s about to dig up more than buried memories… 
    Darkly funny, sharply observant and unquestionably deadly, this is no Thursday Murder Club.See what readers have to say:

    'A dark, funny and yet serious thriller of a read! Killings and kidnapping galore’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
    ‘A twist-filled thriller that constantly kept me second-guessing what I thought I knew. Unpredictable, cleverly crafted read… kept me hooked until the end’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
    'Kept me guessing from start to finish’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
    'Mystery, lots of twists and you're never quite sure who the abductor might be. But it also has an emotional depth to it too’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
    'This book kept me on my toes. I was entertained, stressed, scared, and happy all at the same time!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
    'If you're into serial killer thrillers with a touch of dark humor, this book is right up your street’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Charlie Henry is the proud new owner of the Three Balls pawnshop, having recently returned Stateside from special-ops work in Iraq. The transition back to normal life seems to be going smoothly for him and his Army buddy and co-owner of the shop, Gordon Sweeney—until Gina, Charlie's childhood friend, gets shot in a transaction for information from the previous owner of Three Balls. Gordon rushes to help Gina as she bleeds on the sidewalk, while Charlie roars off on a chase to catch the shooter.  The shooter gets away, and as they dig deeper, they find that the shooting has to do with Howard Baza, the previous owner of the pawnshop, and his rather questionable morals. The Albuquerque Police Department reluctantly lets the two ex-soldiers lend a hand with the investigation. Along the way they get tangled up in gang rivalries and led astray by false identities. They discover that nothing is what it seems, and almost no one is who they appear to be.

    Summer has arrived in Pigsend, and it’s not just the sweltering temperatures putting everyone on edge. It’s the sixth anniversary of the war ending, and a cadre of soldiers is camping north of town to keep the peace and monitor for strange activity. Rumor has it a rebellion is brewing, one that threatens to plunge the country back into war—not that anyone in Pigsend is keen on that.  
    At the Weary Dragon, Bev’s playing host to the usual set of travelers, including butcher Vellora’s old commander Andres. The retired kingside soldier came to visit with his dear friend as well as provide some insight into Bev’s mysterious past. But when the queen’s soldiers find themselves the victim of mischief in their encampment, they’ve got one suspect - Andres.  
    Bev’s on the case to clear his name, but things aren’t quite as simple as they seem. Could Andres really be fomenting rebellion in plain view, or is there something else more magical happening?  
    Zealots and Zeniths is the seventh book in the Weary Dragon Inn series, a cozy follow-up to Veils and Villains.
