I enjoyed that book, although I did have reservations about the mystery, and so I thought I’d go back to the beginning. But with a troop of bandits – “trail bastons” – preying on local travellers as well, will he be able to bring the culprits to justice?Īs I mentioned in my review of The Tolls of Death, this series is currently thirty-strong and still going. When a group of monks is set upon and their abbot is found burned at the stake, Puttock realises that there is more to both crimes than first appeared. Newly appointed bailiff Simon Puttock seems happy to accept that it was an accident but the newly returned lord of the manor, Sir Baldwin Furnshill, seems to think that it was something more. In Devon, 1316, an unpopular villager is found burned to death inside his house.
