A plague on both your houses book6/10/2023 Till that point, this book is interesting. In that book also, monks start dropping dead mysteriously in a monastery and a monk arrives and investigates. It is hard to ignore the fact that the initial part of the story bears remarkable similarities to Umberto Eco’s masterpiece, ‘ The Name of the Rose‘. A medieval murder mystery with a handsome doctor investigating – what more can one want? Well, appearances can be deceptive. Looking at the story like this, it does look very fascinating and gripping. Before we know, more and more strange things start happening. But before the celebrations get over, another person dies mysteriously. The college physician Bartholomew has questions on it. One of the masters of a college dies mysteriously. It is the year 1348 and the place is Cambridge University. I wanted to read something light, maybe a mystery, and this book popped at me from my bookshelf, ‘ The Plague on Both Your Houses‘ by Susanna Gregory.
