Summary

A further episode in the Unquiet Bones series, following the life and fortunes of Hugh de Singleton, surgeon in medieval Bampton, Oxfordshire

Alan, the beadle of the manor of Bampton, had gone out at dusk to seek those who might violate curfew. When, the following morning, he had not returned home, his young wife Matilda had sought out Master Hugh de Singleton, surgeon and bailiff of the manor. Two days later Alan’s corpse was discovered in the hedge, at the side of the track to St. Andrew’s Chapel. His throat had been torn out - his head was half severed from his body - and his face, hands, and forearms were lacerated with deep scratches.

Master Hugh, meeting Hubert the coroner at the scene, listened carefully to the coroner’s surmise that a wolf had caused the great wound. And yet, if so, why was there no blood?

I have read most of the Hugh de Singleton books but it was great to just sit back and listen. Great reader and loved the story anew.

I enjoy the historical aspects of this series. I wish I could see some of the book with my eyes because there are olde English terms that I can't understand so well by just hearing them. I love the Godliness of the main characters and the absence of foul language. I plan to follow the whole series.

Interesting, well read
