Sxilderik Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hello I read that book in 1985, 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 british writer… It's the story of a woman in her late 50’s interested in folklore studies, who comes to a small english town preparing a ancient yearly festival, featuring various acts including wearing heavy armors and riding a hobby horse. While she’s mingling with the people in that town, a crime is committed. Spoiler The decisive step of the subsequent police investigation is their finding out that it was actually her who was wearing the heavy armor during the festival, 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...
Little Pixie Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yes ! This rings many bells, but I'll need to look through my book lists to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
