Beschreibung
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 cess pit. 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.Readers praise for THE UNQUIET BONES'Absolutely loved the book and cannot wait for the next one. One ofthe best medieval genre novels Ive read in years. More of the same please soon!' David C. UK'I enjoyed the setting, the period, the very realistic characters and thedry wit.' Donna B. USA'I read all of it in one go; its quite the best medieval mystery Ive readin a while. I teach medieval history, so its always nice to read something by someone who actually knows what they're talking about. Cant wait for the next one!' Sarah T. USA
