This time the hangman is off to visit his ill little sister in the big city of Regensberg, having had a letter from her husband requesting his presence, and due to unfortunate circumstances Magdalena and Simon soon follow thinking to start a new life together in the metropolis where they aren't known. But, their plans are all ruined when the hangman is quickly ensnared in a devious plot of revenge by an adversary from his past. Great mystery involving the numerous powerful groups at work in the large city of Regensberg, as well as providing an opportunity to learn a good deal more of the hangman's personal history. Also a bit of evening of the playing field between Magdalena and Simon, when Magdalena puts her trust in a Venetian man in the city and Simon finds himself just as jealous as Magdalena had been in the previous book. I loved the banter and the interesting relationship that developed between the two hangmen! The next book in this series is The Poisoned Pilgrim.
