Gothic Cathedrals in Books
Gothic Cathedrals in Books
When you think of cathedrals, what do you associate with them? Grand designs, big ornate stained glass windows, stunning interiors and an immense sense of calm?
Well there’s nothing calm about in the following mwah ha ha
Murder at Canterbury Cathedral – Jim Eldridge
Canon Walter de la Coeur is found savagely bludgeoned to death on the exact spot where Thomas Becket also met his end centuries before.
Murder at St Paul’s Cathedral – Jim Eldridge
Do you think Jim knows more about these cathedral murders than he’s letting on?
Death Awaits in Durham – Helen Cox
Durham Cathedral gets a lovely mention in this book. Bar the murders of course 😉
A Single Thread – Tracy Chevalier
Now this is fascinating – a cathedral in a novel not as a murder scene but a weaving story about a disparate group of women charged with embroidering kneelers for the Cathedral.
Murder in Advent – David Williams
