A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This is a clever, well-written book that I really enjoyed...kept me sitting on the edge of my seat at all times! (Emily Granozio, aged 14 The Historical Novels Review 2005-11-01)

I could see it in my mind's eye and couldn't put it down. It's not the sort of book you could put a bookmark in and stop reading (Sarah Downie, Currie Community High School Teen Titles 2003-09-01)

A dark and gripping mystery...Crowlet's writing is very absorbing and the reader is easily sucked into the dark and dangerous story (INIS)

A thrilling medieval murder mystery about friendship, loyalty and doing what is right. (The Bookseller)

Bridget Crowley has done a magnificent job recreating the ambience and ethos of a 13th century cathedral and its choir school. All the while crafting a suspenseful narrative plot with rich and sympathetic characterisations ... an engaging and atmospheric tale. (Sam Mendes, director)

A gripping story with a fascinating insight into life at this time. (Jill Slotover, Financial Times)

An excellent read (Armadillo)

A small gem ... subtle, realistic and well-paced, it's full of feeling, and the dialogue rings true as a tuning fork. (Hampstead and Highgate Express)

STEP INTO THE DARK: 'A highly likeable and accomplished first novel . . . (involving) a range of well-drawn characters. Briskly paced without being rushed, the story will engage readers of 11 and above with its real sense of urban teenage life.' (TES)

Présentation de l'éditeur

People say that John is lucky to be taken in by the choir school. But it's hard to be grateful for the cold and the hunger, the bullying and punishments. But John's friendship with another chorister, Hugh, makes life seem a little less bleak. And the Feast of Fools is coming - a festival and procession culminating in a great banquet. For one day of the festival, a chorister is chosen to be the Boy Bishop, performing the clergy's duties in the cathedral. This year, it is Hugh.

But sinister forces are at work and, on the night of the feast, a canon is found murdered. Then Hugh disappears. Only John, the outsider, dares to probe the dark heart of the cathedral to discover the truth . . .
