Synopsis

In Cambridge 1355 the colleges of the fledgling university are as much at odds with each other as they are with the ordinary townfolk. This tension has recently been heightened by the return of two well-born murderers after receiving the King's pardon, showing no remorse but ready to confront those who helped convict them. And in the midst of this Bartholomew the physician is called to the local mill to examine two corpses. It is almost a relief to be able to turn his back on the fractious town, but as always in Cambridge nothing is disconnected.

It is always a pleasure to visit my friends Matthew Bartholomew and Brother Michael who live in medieval Cambridge. I love the banter between the two and the setting in the early years of the university town is so bustling and alive. It is like I have just stepped back in time. This is the tenth in......more

Goodreads review by Pamela on December 31, 2021

Another enjoyable adventure with Bartholomew and Michael and the rest of the Cambridge scholars and townspeople. This one dealt with possible poisonings so disguised as medicinal “cures,” so it really focused on medieval medicine, which I find fascinating. Also, two killers and a supposedly “holy re......more
