Find Solace For A Sinner (Chronicles Of Isaac Of Girona, #4) Created By Caroline Roe Accessible In Publication

author of An Antidote for Avarice continues the intriguing adventures of blind Jewish physician Isaac of Gerona, In medieval Spain, Isaac heads the search for the fabled Holy Grail and an unholy killer, . . An interesting entry in a really good series, with a Holy Grail angle and a fine climax, Roe has done a good job with physician Isaac of Girona and his family in their medieval setting, as well as the Bishop of Girona and other characters, This series is best read in order, This book develops the characters even further than the earlier books, and has a good story, I really have enjoyed this series, and agree with another reviewer that it is best to read the books in this series in order, especially because of character development,

I have been sick so finished this book in three days, It is not fast paced except toward the end but if one is looking for a fastpaced mystery, I would recommend a different series, The author has done a tremendous amount of research, The mail story line centers around mostly greedy interest in the Holy Grail, a

cup purportedly used by Jesus, The end of the book has a good summary of what the Grail is and where many have thought it to be hidden/kept in what is now Spain, One could read that in advance to get a better idea of what the item is,

Again the author does an excellent job describing life inth century Spain, the superstitions and actions of people of the time, and the role of the church as well as lives of the Jews too.
The main character continues to be the blind physician Isaac, His daughter comes across as more "human" toward the end of the bookshowing the emotional feels of a young adult woman of the times, More is discussed and shown of Isaac's Muslim apprentice Yusuf,

I strongly recommend this series and would give the book a,if possible. I like the idea of this series more than I've liked the actual execution of it, While I still like them I wish they were better,

I always love Carolline Roe's books, and this one is no exception, The characters are unique and interesting and the mystery is complicated enough to keep your interest and keep you guessing, but not so complicated that you lose interest in the details.
Overall, a perfect historical mystery with much of the ancient Spanish culture woven in throughout the book, Readable but not as good as the earlier books in the series, I really like Caroline Roe's prose and her attention to period detail,Isaac of Girona historical mystery set ins Spain, featuring the blind Jewish physician and his family, In this installment, the Holy Grail has apparently come to Girona in the hands of a merchant who is trying to auction it off to the highest bidder, Rumors abound and then one of the hopeful buyers ends up dead, as does the merchant himself, Nearpanic ensues in the marketplaces as the rumors escalate about the Grail and its powers, Isaac begins to investigate as one of the members of the Jewish community is suspect, and the Bishop, whom Isaac tends faithfully, is annoyed with Isaac for stirring up trouble and tries to stay out of the fracas,

While I didnt dislike this book, I certainly didnt like it as much as the previous ones in the series, It seemed rather blah and I had a hard time getting interested in the political/religious intrigue and in the main part of the story even though I enjoy Isaac, Raquel, Yusuf and the rest of the supporting cast very much.
Interesting mystery in which the detecting character is a blind Jewish physician in medieval Spain, It is set in theth century,
a rare time when Catholic, Jew, and Muslim worked together in peace, Very suspenseful. This is theth book in the Isaac of Girona series,
