About this listen

Thomas atte Bridge, a man no one likes, is found hanging from a tree near Cowleys Corner. All assume he has taken his own life, but Master Hugh and Kate find evidence that this may not be so.

Many of the town had been harmed by Thomas, and Hugh is not eager to send one of them to the gallows. Then he discovers that the priest John Kellet, atte Bridge’s partner in crime in A Corpse at St. Andrew’s Chapel, was covertly in Bampton at the time atte Bridge died.

Master Hugh is convinced that Kellet has murdered atte Bridge - one rogue slaughtering another. He sets out for Exeter, where Kellet now works. But there he discovers that the priest is an emaciated skeleton of a man, who mourns the folly of his past life. Hugh must return to Bampton and discover which of his friends has murdered his enemy.

I love the way Hugh de Singleton poses himself with ethical questions as he goes about his business. Just as anyone might today. He questions his conscience. He justifies his decisions and actions with quotes from the bible. Truly he is a good man. He does justly and loves mercy which is a good way to go forward.

A good read

Mel Starr has the ability to transport the reader back in time to the late 1300's with a thoroughly convincing narrative. The storylines keep the reader guessing with characters which are fully rounded. You have to feel some sympathy for Hugh De Singleton's character as he deals with the many troubles that befall being the bailiff of Brampton.

Thoroughly good read

I often work making jewellery whilst listening to this wonderful series. Maybe just a little over religious from time to time, but not enough to make me stop listening. A great world building series, deeply enhanced by this narrator who is nothing short of perfect.

I love this series!

I had to rewind a few times as the narrator’s voice has a soporific effect, however the story was quite interesting.

Quite interesting addition to the series
