Matthew Bartholomew doesn't want to travel to Peterborough in the summer of 1358, but his friendship with the lovely Julitta Holm has caused a scandal in Cambridge, so he has no choice. He is one of a party of Bishop's Commissioners, charged to discover what happened to Peterborough's abbot, who went for a ride one day and has not been seen since. When the Commissioners arrive, they find the town in turmoil.

Terrible narrator
Reviewed: 03-22-25
The narrator in previous books understood the characters but this new narrator gets it all wrong. He makes Michael a gruff, mean man. There is no nuance or any of the kind but sometimes stubborn monk. It completely destroyed the story for me. Also, he mispronounce Cynric. Really bad.
