*** FROM USA TODAY & MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR J. ROBERT KENNEDY ***

IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST SCANDALS IN THE KINGDOM OF FRANCE’S HISTORY.
AND ONE TEMPLAR KNIGHT PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE.

When a woman arrives at Sir Marcus de Rancourt’s new home, claiming to be a cousin of his late brother-in-law, he and his fellow Templars are forced to fight off her pursuers before knowing the truth of her crime—accusations of adultery by her husband.

Swearing she is innocent, Sir Marcus and his trusted sergeant agree to seek out the truth, while his squires remain behind to protect her. But soon after arriving in Paris, they discover that nothing is as it seems, and more is going on than they could have possibly imagined.

Award winning USA Today and million copy bestselling author J. Robert Kennedy once again takes history and twists it to his own ends, delivering a pulse-pounding page-turner filled with enough mystery, intrigue, action, and humor, to satisfy any thriller fan. If you enjoy fast-paced adventures, then you’ll love this taut historical tale of intrigue.

Get your copy of The Templar Detective and the Parisian Adulteress today, and discover the forgotten past of one of France’s greatest scandals, and how one Templar Knight changed history.

Perspective by Peter
5.0 out of 5 stars Another impressive instalment in this Templar Detective Thriller series. Don't miss this one!
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019
Verified Purchase
I loved the first novel in this series. This is a very unique concept, a Templar Knight who is a Detective! Kennedy initiated this very well in the first novel and this second instalment flows well from the second with not much time period in between. Book 5 is to be released at the end of May, so readers new to this series will have the added benefit of reading these first 5 in one go and see this series as one continuum

Just like Kennedy's James Acton Thrillers where novel 24 has just been released, I would love to see this amount of novels in this series. I guess it all comes down to whether there are enough historical events in this era for Kennedy to base these novels on. And on this topic, I find it adds credibility and depth to the plot when it is based on actual historical events even if poetic licence is used.

I love the characterisation of Marcus' team, their camaraderie, loyalty to Marcus, the relationship they have with God, their submission to Him as part of the Templar code. Some readers, whether Christian or not do like prayer being included in a novel, but I do not have a problem with this, therefore I appreciated the short one liner prayer by Marcus and his team when their investigations put them in dire straits.

Just like the first instalment, Kennedy has you hooked to the plot in the mystery and intrigue of the events surrounding his cousin by marriage, Joanna. All is not what it seems and in true Marcus form, he is like a dog with a bone, won't stop until he gets to the truth of the matter, that leads to a very satisfying conclusion where all is explained. Just like the first, characters from this end up in this second novel and it now appears as if Joanna and Beatrice will be in the third as they are now part of Marcus's compound and community.

It would not surprise me if Thomas from the first novel and developed further in this second one will make an appearance in subsequent ones as I get the feeling Kennedy is not finished with him yet. I am pleased with this as I am sure, like me, that other readers have developed a soft spot for him.

Kennedy knows how to keep a reader hooked and engrossed in the characters and the plot. All tied in together with no peaks or troughs, just the reader wanting to know more and what happens next.

I have a few Templar novels in my To Be Read list as I am fascinated by their history and role. I have not been able to read them yet and this series is the first in the Templar world. All this has done is fuel my desire to read more of them, yes, in this series, but the others by those authors as well.

I am also looking forward to eventually reading Kennedy's other novels, especially the James Acton Thrillers.

I am so glad to have found this author. Kennedy is passionate about his writing and producing a novel that is not just entertaining but reproduces the era, traditions and weaves history into the plot. This is a well-structured series.

I highly recommend The Templar Detective Thrillers. Looking forward to the rest.

This is the second book in J. Robert Kennedy's new Templar series, and I cannot praise it enough! Here is my experience - I received the book yesterday, opened it, hit the ground running, and just finished it this morning. I'm not sure what I did other than devour the story - I think I ate and I'm sure the dogs got fed, but I am not sure about anything else. I'm not going to go into the plot, because I can't figure out a way to do it without spoilers, but do yourself a favor and get this book. You won't be disappointed, of that I am certain. Reading the first book in the series will make it even more fun! The only bad thing? Oh no, I finished it! Now what am I going to do? I will wait as patiently as I can for more!

Our hero, Sir Marcus, the Templar detective returns in book 2 of this series to take on the bad guys of yesteryear. Bad guys which haven’t changed much over the centuries. A crime still seems to be a crime, no matter what era it occurs in. You get to be immersed in 14th century situations and settings while solving a complicated mystery which may well be happening in present day. Of course the manner in which the dirty deed is resolved is considerably different than in present day. And here is the fun....No spoilers here, you must read to enjoy. While this is a stand-alone read, it’s always much more exciting to know the first part of the story which happens in Book 1 of any series. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loving this 'period' series by one of my favorite authors!
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2018
Verified Purchase
The first Templar Detective novel was very well laid out. This second entry was excellent as well. There is something refreshing about your heroes and protagonists limited by sending riders with messages...or simply resigned to the fact that supporting characters would be able to handle things thrown at them. I loved the setup of Thomas's position in the first and the follow up here. It will probably behoove Marcus to have him employed in Paris, however shady that business may become. I have to admit that I called the whodunit on this one, but masterfully crafted. If you liked this detective story, you'd love his Detective Shakespeare series.
