The bones find in the ashes. But who is the missing person? Master Hugh de Singleton must visit the nearby villages more than once to identify the possible victim - and the reason for the murder/s.

I have quite enjoyed this historical murder mystery. Hugh de Singleton is a wise man with dry humour, which I appreciate. And while Master Hugh is no brother Cadfael (my forever beloved detective from the past times of British realm), the mystery is quite well-written and interesting. And I appreciate to see how difficult such sleuthing must have been, based mostly on the sharp intellect of the sleuth!
But I must say that I like Hugh´s musings the most! :)
