To Wear The White Cloak : A Catherine LeVendeur Mystery

Rating:
Summary: This book is as funny a book as you'll get in this series.
Review: This book is quite different than the previous books in this series. For one thing, it's actually quite humourous and although there is a murder, it happens sometime before the book actually begins. The dead body of what appears to be a knight of the crusade is found by Catherine and Edgar in their Paris home after they've been away for a year. The scandal from that, as well as a lot of rumours that are going around Paris about them causes them to set out to find first who the knight was, and then to determine who killed him. This book is peopled by a lot of characters, and that can be confusing, and there is a lot of unrelated action going on, so it gets a bit disjointed at times, but it is funny, and that is very different for a Catherine LeVendeur mystery. Ms. Newman's research is still very extensive, and her two main characters are just as likeable, so not a bad addition to this series.
