Oxford, Autumn 1353

St. Frideswide's Fair is a great annual event in Oxford, bringing together merchants and buyers from all over England and Wales, and from as far away as Flanders and France. Yet the earnings from the fair, granted to the Priory of St. Frideswide centuries before, are resented by the town, and resentment can turn to violence.

Under the unscrupulous Prior de Hungerford, even more trouble is brewing. Nicholas Elyot is warned by intelligencer Alice Walsea that attendance at the fair may be used for something more sinister, and not all French merchants may be innocent.

When a merchant from Flanders is attacked and an English traitor is murdered, can Nicholas disentangle the crimes hidden under cover of the fair?

Book shopkeeper Nicolas Elyott is a most appealing, thoughtful, wise and interesting main character. Nothing wrong with really loving the protagonist in these books, makes for an excellent change. In this volume, nothing disappoints, superior character-driven story, good plot, and wonderful, authentic ambiance. Overall the series would get five stars from me, but the novels are on the short side and feel like episodes in a bigger story. So, perhaps at the end of this journey I shall award five stars.

Superlative narration.

Great episodes, a most admirable historical series

I grieve the lost of such talent.
I will be sad when I complete the last volume.

I love this series! Even my husband loves it commenting, "This is one of the best series we've ever listened to. I mean, all the characters come out of tragedy and yet they are intertwining, creating beautiful lives built on love and friendship with one another."
You feel that sincerity. It just leaps off the page and the narrator perfectly conveys the author's thoughts and feelings. I truly enjoy this narrator. He's one of the best I've ever listened to.
Start this series. You won't regret it.

Yes! 5 huge stars!

This is my 4th book in this series. I’m reading them in sequence because I don’t want to know the ending before the middle. Although I have a graduate degree in history,
I’m constantly learning “new” historical facts, and this series is an A+ example. So much of our course work focuses on historical “Movers and Shakers,” but it’s the day to day lives of the ordinary folks which really teach us about each time period. Be it farming, inventions, etiquette, child rearing, ad infinitum.… this is the best way to learn IMO because of the human interest factor. There is nothing vulgar in this series, and I will make it optional reading for extra credit. Sometimes fact to fact to fact just isn’t easy recall, but incorporate all our amazing history with human interest stories and watch your students’ inquisitiveness grow. A+

One is sucked into this educational series because of its human interest

I am fast becoming a fan of Ann Swinfin's. The novels have a humanity and comfort that for me is reminiscent of Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael mysteries. The mysteries are well-crafted, well-researched, and don't generally exceed the technology of the day. They are also believable.

I also enjoy that, while the story is complete in itself, there is also an over-arching "history" that is consistent from book to book. We see children growing and relationships develop.

A lovely series that I would recommend to most people.

4th in remarkable hist. fiction mystery series

I love this series , its great narration and characters. However, a mystery shouldn’t be solved so readily by the reader while the characters act so clueless to the obvious

Duh! When you know the answer to the mystery almost immediately!

Interesting and engaging characters with a real flavor of Medieval life. I've read each book in the series and they each just got better and better. The narrator was especially good, too.

Excellent Read - love this series!

These Medieval Mysteries never move in a straight line towards solving the crime! There is often too much information, additional characters that are hard to keep straight, peripheral narratives that take attention away from the central action. However, the extra work required is well worth the effort. Boy, can you learn a lot about late medieval society and how people lived and worked. So, interesting. The deviations from the main story are like an added gift - more than you paid for and well worth the cost! You will get to know the characters and really care what happens to them. Great historical fun! And as an added bonus the narrator is fantastic! Takes on the voice of time and place and makes it sound perfectly natural! Can't wait for my next credit to order immediately the next book in the series.
