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?

Very interesting, great narration. Hugh has dry wit and I learned a lot about the time period.

I love this series.

I like these books, but I am not so sure if I like the style of letting you know ahead what is to happen. it is a little off putting and detracts from the mystery.

Very pleasant listening and nicely written

Perfect series of time long ago, read expertly. Can’t really ask for more. As the stories are read from notes/books rather than told from first person perspective, we get hints of what Hugh should or shouldn’t have done at a time. Culprit may be deduced earlier, but the story is more of a journey than just rushing to the end result.

Stellar story and reading

The plot thickens! Characters grow and develop and this one was a little hard to follow but pleasantly so. Love the characters, the growing love interest, the narrator.

Clever and twisty

A somewhat better constructed plot than the first in the series. There is a continual absorption with the idea of finding a wife but without much thought behind the process. The plot is rather more convoluted and somewhat unbelievable compared to the prior book. Nevertheless, it is an engaging story and as most in a series does, leaves you with a cliffhanger that wants them to hear more.

Worth a listen.
