About the book: year / "The Broken Vessel" is Kate Ross's second novel about Julian Kestrel, an amateur detective as compelling as Lord Peter Wimsey and just as historically authentic like brother Cadfael. This time, Kestrel and his servant, the former pickpocket Broker, fall into the hands of vague evidence of a crime, while investigating which they will look for evidence everywhere - from luxurious London living rooms to a gloomy shelter for fallen women.
