It's 1194, and Sir Faucon de Ramis, the shire's newly appointed keeper of the pleas, must do his duty and make an official declaration of the cause of a miller's death. Saddled with a clerk who names Faucon his "penance", the shire's first crowner must thread the tangled relationships between the sheriff, the village of Priors Holston, and the priory that once ruled it. As a simple task takes a turn to the political, what seems obvious isn't, and what appears safe turns out to be more dangerous than he could imagine.

waiting for the next in series.
This didn't get a full five across because it was rather inevitable that the daughter of "our hero"'s friend would be a target for our serial killer. That said, the rest of the story is a good one and one hopes that book 5 is forthcoming so the adventure continues.

G Jackson is a very skilled narrator. His habit of shouting very loudly and very often, as a means of communicating most emotions, is too much for me to bear. I have to return this, unfinished.
