Cambridge, 1355, and the worst snows in living memory have begun to melt.  In Matthew Bartholomew’s town, there is trouble as usual from several different sources: a disagreement over whether a skeletal hand should be an object of veneration; two well-born citizens pardoned of a murder charge returning to revenge themselves on those who helped convict them; and warring local mills.

When two corpses are found in one mill, Bartholomew and his friend Brother Michael don’t think they have far to look, but things are never as they seem in their fledgling university city…

 

Susanna Gregory writes with fluency and energy…and bases the stories in this enjoyable series on careful research.
