I started reading The Dark Monk, the follow up novel to The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch. The Hangman of a sleepy village in the Bavarian Alps, is set upon yet another mysterious death. Not unlike the first in The Hangman's Daughter, but this time he has a little more help. When the parish priest finds that he has been poisoned, he scratches out a clue in the snow. A clue that will lead whoever finds it to the treasure of The Knights Templar. And so, sets in motion, Jakob (The Hangman) and his daughter, Magdalena, along with the physician's son on a quest to find the treasure before a band of mysterious bandits gets to it. The novel is set in 17th century Bavaria, and makes it very easy to believe you have been swept back in time. I have only just started reading this new novel, I recieved it as part of a Bzz Campaign. So, stay tuned, for more of the Bzzz on this promising, wild ride of an adventure called: The Dark Monk

I finished The Dark Monk by Oliver Potzsch, and I must say..."What A Ride"!!! I absolutely found myself engulfed in the quaint little town in Germany, and eager to set off with Jakob, Magdalena and Simon on another murder mystery! This one involving the Templars. And before you say "Been there, Done that", give it a chance, I promise you won't be able to put it down! And you may just find yourself wanting "A Hangman" for yourself!
