pickThe vill of Sticklepath holds many dark secrets and when the skeleton of a young girl is found and rumours of cannibalism abound, Sir Baldwin and friends come to investigate.
The author is very good at invoking an atmosphere but be warned, it's a very depressing one.
panSimon Puttock organises a tournament for Lord Hugh, only to find his efforts come to nothing when bodies turn up and he is cast as main suspect.
Not 1 of the author's best. I kept getting some of the potential suspects muddled and realised who the murderer actually was pretty early on. Also 2 of the victims (out of 5) were a gay couple, IIRC the 1st gay characters in this series, but our sympathies were obviously meant to lie with the murderer.
#BookSpinBingo time!

I scored several old Sr.Fidelma Mysteries #mysteriesofAncientIreland through Thrift Books.Sipping my Labor Day morning coffee while enjoying what feels like an autumn day in my porch! Coldish breeze, the temp is 69. Barely a cloud- bright blue skies. I plan to walk afterwards. #porchlife #LazyLaborDay #coffeeandbooks
When a glovemaker is found murdered, everybody assumes his apprentice was the culprit, especially as some jewellery and cash has also gone missing. But then the bodies start piling up. The dean of Exeter cathedral asks Sir Baldwin Furnshill and Simon Puttock to investigate, but why isn't he relying on local law enforcement? ⬇
