Hugh continues to solve mystery of the 1360's, Mar 9 2011
This review is from: A Trail of Ink (Paperback)
Hugh de Singleton continues his facinating reports of his life in the 1360's England around the town of Oxford. The young man, a baliff and a surgeon, continues to become enmeshed in homicide cases which start out as small mysteries. This time on a visit to his mentor John Wyclif and to the girl who has caught his fancy he discovers that Wyclif's books have been stolen, a serious crime in a time when books were scarce; and that his girl has started walking out with a knight who might be involved in the theft somehow. I was happy to see Hugh again; it's interesting to think of how mysteries were solved before technology arrived. The author has made the third book in the series easy to read, interesting, and catches a new reader up-to-date quickly in the first chapter. There is a glossary at the beginning containing medieval words and their meanings that may be new to the reader. It is easy to flip to without losing one's place in the story. An excellent new story, I'm interested in reading the rest of the series.
Thanks to Noelle Pederson and Kregel Publications for a review copy.
