As with the other two, there is adventure here, as well as, a murder mystery, only this time it is the latter which comes to the fore. It isn’t too hard to guess whodunit - a more complex story might be a good idea for book four - but this is an amiable series that is sure to have appeal. Chaucer is very much to the fore this time after taking a back seat much of the time before, and he emerges as somewhat similar to his historical descriptions. Part of this is much in the mold of a classic country house murder only with a mediaeval twist which is fun, as is the addition of wreckers haunting the coast, the local witch and trying to spot which tales Chaucer was inspired to write after this particular adventure.
