The Unquiet Bones by Mel Starr
A Hugh de Singleton Mystery
Monarch Books
Master Hugh de Singleton, a surgeon in the medieval village of Bampton, near Oxford, and bailiff of Bampton Castle, is introduced in this is this first book of this series of historical mysteries set in the 14th century. The fourth in the series, Unhallowed Ground, will be published in January 2012. Bampton Castle in Oxfordshire was a real place, though it was demolished in the late 18th century.
About The Unquiet Bones (from the publisher): Hugh of Singleton, fourth son of a minor knight, has been educated as a clerk, usually a prelude to taking holy orders. However, feeling no certain calling despite a lively faith, he turns to the profession of surgeon, training in Paris and then hanging out his sign in Oxford. A local lord asks him to track the killer of a young woman whose bones have been found in the castle cesspit. She is identified as the impetuous missing daughter of a local blacksmith, and her young man, whom she had provoked very publicly, is in due course arrested and sentenced at the Oxford assizes. From there the tale unfolds, with graphic medical procedures, droll medieval wit, misdirection, ambition, romantic distractions and a consistent underlying Christian compassion.
