Delve into the world of fourteenth-century England, in this thrilling historical mystery. It may be enjoyed as complete in itself or as part of the Hugh de Singleton medieval mystery series.

When Hugh and Kate’s newborn son is taken to the church to be baptized, they are astounded to find that the locked font is completely dry. The possibility of a leak is quickly ruled out, and just as Hugh is beginning to wonder if there may be a sinister explanation for the stolen holy water, Father Robert is found lying motionless by the rood screen in a pool of blood.

Meanwhile, parliament has passed a poll tax, stipulating that everyone above the age of fourteen is to be taxed equally. Folk are soon scrambling to find the money to pay, and, inevitably, unscrupulous elements in society see an opportunity to feed off people’s desperation and make some cash. But what connection can there possibly be between this and events at Bampton?

Mel Starr always tells what they had to eat. I sometimes look it up on Google. The dinner of Welks (sea snails) sounded particularly disgusting. I don’t like chewy seafood.

Medieval storytelling at its finest!

I love listening to these stories from medieval Britain. instead of tales of famous figures from the past, we get to spend time with the common people who had to live under a feudal aristocracy. The main character is an intelligent and honorable bailiff who also acts as the doctor of the village. We see him at home and at work. I especially like the laid back tempo of the stories. They take my mind off the terrible state of the world we live in and provide a much needed respite from daily cares and obligations.

Another wonderful listen from Mel Starr.

Starr does such a wonderful job of depicting and explaining life in 1300s England as he unravels the crime. Really enjoyable series

Informative and Entertaining

I like the character of Hugh de Singleton and have enjoyed all of this series up until this book. In my opinion, it’s tediously boring, has a very, very weak plot and virtually no character development. I’d have been embarrassed to release it were I Mel Starr, but will be forgiving and hopeful as I move on to try his next book. The narration is excellent, as always with Tim Bruce. Thank you!

Unexpectedly disappointing

This book was way too short. I got through it in a couple of days. It was a good story, but it didn’t go into enough detail or have enough teeth to it because it was so short. I would urge Mel Starr next time to write a book and make it twice as long -Otherwise they’re really not worth the money!

Way too short

Would have served better as a red herring, Didn't take much to figure out A overheard convos.
