( ) #9 Roger the Chapman medieval mystery in which a newly-married Roger heads off to Plymouth, directed there by one of his dreams, and sure enough, finds a mystery that needs solving. Oliver Capstick was murdered in his home about five months ago, and everyone knows the culprit—his nephew, Beric Gifford. They had argued heatedly the day before and he was seen both coming and going from the uncle’s home, even to the point of having a dark stain on his tunic on his way out. But no one, including the Sheriff’s posse, can find him, despite searching not only the countryside, known haunts and his manor estate. Everyone thinks he took St. John’s Fern, a flower that legend says can make a person disappear. Roger is a bit skeptical of course, though isn’t one to totally discount the supernatural. His travels lead him over the countryside to several villages and to Beric’s home of Villetort Manor in search of the young man or at least a search for some clue as to w here he’s gone. I always enjoy this series, even though I thought the solution to the mystery in this one was quite obvious right from the beginning. In fact, I wanted to clunk Roger over the head with the oh-so-simple clues, but I let him off easily since he was a newlywed and likely to be a bit muddled. LOL Anyway, another wonderful foray into 1400’s England; I wish these weren’t so difficult to find—I always have to order them from my library and I hate giving them back.

It is October 1477 and Roger the Chapman, still basking in wedded bliss, is surprised to find himself feeling restless again. He soon sets off on his travels, driven south by the feeling he is needed there. Roger eventually arrives in Plymouth to be confronted by the brutal murder of a wealthy old man, Master Capstick. The old man's great-nephew, Beric is widely believed to have committed the murder, but has vanish completely. Locals rumour suggests that Beric has eaten the Saint John's fern which can make a man invisible. Roger, quick to dismiss such old-fashioned beliefs, begins his own investigation and soon finds his life in danger. It appears that he is close to a truth that is even more extraordinary than the superstition... No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
