<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;">Book Review:  <strong>The Embroidered Corpse</strong>, by Brian Kavanagh; Genre: Contemporary Mystery </span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"> ‘The Embroidered Corpse’ part of a series of mysteries by Brian Kavanagh weaves together a bit of history with the mystery.  Belinda Lawrence, a most definitely contemporary woman, is both clever and admirable. The conundrum she stumbles into at the acquisition of what seems an archaic piece of tapestry provides a  puzzle that starts off seeming fun, then perhaps curious… and maybe deadly. The first ‘threads’ that weave this tale together are in a controversial tale reflected by a recreation of a medieval-era tapestry.  The tale threatens the very fabric of the history it depicts.  Further, the revelation of a present –day  A murder makes Belinda realize that while she was on a quest for the quaint, she and her best buddy, were perhaps the last people to see the victim alive.</span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;">         From William the Conqueror to good King Harold, uncovering the plot means figuring out some historic details;  details that might well be exposed as lies, by the tapestry itself.  Authentication of information is the cloth that drapes a good piece of this puzzle, from William the Conqueror to good King Harold, and on to quite an assortment of present-day characters, including a group of monks…who most assuredly couldn’t be guilty of murder – could they?</span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;">  The  British antique hunt kicks it all off with quaint flavor. Dialogue is clever, believable, and occasionally has some fun with word choice.  The agreeable Mark seems the perfect guy for Belinda too, and you’ll find yourself hoping for more in that realm, throughout. </span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;">          The medieval connection is vital to the puzzle, and more detailed than than one imagines at the  outset – but interesting throughout. The Embroidered Corpse features a most-definitely contemporary setting, history buffs will especially enjoy this mystery.    It’s as rich as the steaming date pudding with chocolate sauce they mention … now where will I find a recipe for that?</span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;">          Mrs. Hudson declares Kavanagh’s ‘The Embroidered Corpse,’ a jolly good read.</span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Arial;">The Baker Street Clarion</span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Arial;"> http://bakerstreetclarion.com/  </span></p><p></p>
