Review: Assassin in the Abbey by EH Walter

Synopsis: An assassin and an assassin catcher play a game of cat and mouse at the coronation of William I on Christmas day 1066.

~~~

A very short story of a mere few pages, set in the aftermath of the Norman victory at Hastings in 1066. William of Normandy is about to be crowned King of England, however, not all see this as a welcome event and one in particular will set out to ensure this does not happen. But William has taken precautions. And our "assassin catcher" narrates the scenes before us, the reader. Who will succeed - the cat or the mouse?
