À propos de cet audio

First in the medieval whodunnit series set in Bampton, Oxfordshire, during the plague years and featuring a newly qualified surgeon

Hugh of Singleton, fourth son of a minor knight, has been educated as a clerk, usually a prelude to taking holy orders. However, feeling no certain calling despite a lively faith, he turns to the profession of surgeon, training in Paris and then hanging out his sign in Oxford.

A local lord asks him to track the killer of a young woman whose bones have been found in the castle cesspit. She is identified as the impetuous missing daughter of a local blacksmith, and her young man, whom she had provoked very publicly, is in due course arrested and sentenced at the Oxford assizes.

From there the tale unfolds, with graphic medical procedures, droll medieval wit, misdirection, ambition, romantic distractions, and a consistent underlying Christian compassion.

At first I wasn’t sure but within about 15 minutes I was hooked and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a time in history that I had not touched on since school so I found various aspects of the story really interesting and the narrator was perfect.

It grows on you.

, reminiscent of Cadfael in many ways but sufficiently diffent in setting, details and characters.

A good listen.
