Sxilderik Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hello I read that book in the 80's, and i've been looking for it for quite some time now, without success. Maybe I could get help in this forum? It's most probably from an english writer... It's the story of a middle age woman specialised in folklore studies, who comes to a small english town preparing a ancient yearly festival, featuring various acts including wearing armors and riding hobby horses. When she's mingling with the people in that town, a crime is committed, and one decisive step of the police investigation later on happens when they find out that it was her who was riding that hobby horse during the festival, wearing that armor, instead of the man who was supposed to do it, giving him a precious alibi... Does that ring any bell? Thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirandashell Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Nope, not a one, I'm afraid. Sounds like an episode of Midsomer Murders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timebug Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I have no idea,but based on your brief precis, it sounds very similar to one of the W.J.Burley 'Wycliffe' novels. I only ever read about three of them,and folklore and so forth seemed to be the subject of two of them! Maybe worth checking out the plot synopses of them online.
