Summary
All Hallow’s Eve, 1144. The savaged body of Durand Wuduweard, the solitary and unpopular keeper of the King’s Forest of Feckenham, is discovered beside his hearth, his corpse rendered barely identifiable by sharp teeth.
Whispers of a wolf on the prowl grow louder, and Sheriff William de Beauchamp’s men, Hugh Bradecote and Serjeant Catchpoll, are tasked with cutting through the clamour. They must uncover who killed Durand and why while beset by superstitious villagers, raids upon manors and further grim deaths. Out of the shadows of the forest, where will the wolf’s fangs strike next?

Another great book
Although I've only given this four stars, I really did enjoy the book. The reason for leaving off a star is that, on the whole, I thought it was a bit obvious. I'm not being smug, but I genuinely did guess what was happening quite early on. And this was another book where I was left feeling very sad at the end, though one particular killing was inevitable. I am really enjoying this series by Sarah Hawkswood and hope for more, slightly happier, books from her.

Delicious
Another great instalment from Sarah Hawkswood. Her research is meticulous and so carefully woven through plot and character you can almost taste, touch & smell the medieval world Catchpole and company inhabit. The plot moved along at a good pace and there was plenty of action. Wakelin is developing into a wonderful character, from nàive youth to fully formed man and I can see the day he is no longer Cathcpole’s underling. Long live the Sheriff’s men!

The creativity is there, but the craft is missing
Hawkswood knows the setting well and that makes the story facinating, and I like the main characters.
But I'm dismayed that after eight books, she has the same specific problems with her technical delivery. The omnicient narrator is still dragging down the pace, especially in action scenes. Several dramatic reveals fall flat, and there are obvious story beats missing (Like the Chekov's wolf that never goes off). I wonder that after eight books in this series, Hawkswood's editor has yet to talk her through these quite concrete flaws in her craft, because they are fixable.
