Summary
Keeping watch over the Easter Sepulchre, where the Host and crucifix are stored between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, is considered a privilege. So it is shocking when it is discovered that Odo, the priest’s clerk, has abandoned his post. But as the hours pass and Odo is not found, Hugh de Singleton is called upon.
It is Hugh that finds the dried blood before the altar, and fear grows for the missing man … Will Hugh be called upon to investigate another murder, or will the man be found hale and hearty? But if so, where has the blood come from?

Passed the time
I've listened to all the other books in this series and I'd say this one is average. Guessed who the murderer was well before Sir Hugh seemed to get there. Kept me entertained and I didn't stop listening in boredom or exasperation. The book was reasonably paced and had the familiar characters present.
However, it was let down rather by the narration which was adequate but bland. The narrator is British and didn't make the book unlistenable. However the narration didn't have the energy and humour of Steven Crossley who narrated the earlier books in the series. I think that this kind of book just doesn't suit Tim Bruce's style of delivery that well.
I really wish the producers of audiobooks wouldn't change narrators part way through a series. It is very rarely for the better.

O.K. But!
Unfortunately I have only given this story 3 stars. Reason- I have enjoyed all the previous books especially the narration by Steven Crossley and found it difficult to fully appreciate this story/narration.

Another good yarn.
I've enjoyed the whole series so far. The detail of life in England at that time is reasonably well rendered.

Another pleasant story, but new narrator has let this down.
All the previous books had life in the narration of the audio books, this new narrator is flat and drones on instead of brining the life in of the earlier books. I’ve had to go back several chapters to listen again as the voice just disappears into white noise after a while. Story as pleasant as always, narration let it down

Medieval mystery at its finest
Accurate historical facts, intriguing mysteries and engaging characters.
What more could one want? A murder of course and one is not disappointed!
Well read!

Spoiled by narator
I loved the previous books in the series, but narrator of this one was dull, and put no life into the characters. Story was probably OK but I only half listened due the narration

American narrator is a poor choice for this book
I have listened to all the previous books in the series and was excited about a new book. Unfortunately the choice of narrator has absolutely ruined the book,. The book is set in mediaeval England and having it read by a narrator with an American accent is just wrong.
Sadly I see that the next book in the series is to be read by the same narrator. I won't be buying it
