Publisher Description
Alfred Armiger was like a bull in the ring, belligerent and sure of himself. But Armiger was mortal after all. There was no stronger proof of it than the blood that oozed from his skull, mingling with the red wine he'd spilled on the floor at the moment of impact.

"This is an exquisitely well written book, with a strong vibrant vocabulary, intricate characters, and well-thought out action. However, it also is a window into a time when women were not allowed to be openly strong."
— Rosemary (4 out of 5 stars)
Death and the Joyful Woman Listener Reviews
-
" 2.5 stars There are good parts, parts I like and there are also boring a little too dramatic parts, the ones that make me go meh. The mystery is okay although it seems to take them long enough to even consider the actual murderer as a suspect. "

" Actually, Felse's son had a crush from afar on the society girl suspected of murder...she wasn't his girlfriend. It was, as usual with Peters, a good read, intruiging mystery and insightful character study. "
— Maribeth, 10/14/2013 -
" This is a little like her first detective novel. As good as most. "

" Dominic Felse to the rescue in all his teenage glory "

" BOT, so-so story. I love Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael series and thought I'd give her Inspector Felles series a try. Not great, not bad. Simon Prebble is the narrator and that saved it. "

" I would have liked this book much more if the mystery hadn't been solved in much the same way as Felse's first book, "Fallen into the Pit". I wonder why Peters chose the same method for both books... "
