Summary
Lady Philippa, the wife of Sir Aymer, a knight of the realm, disappears while travelling from her husband’s manor to Bampton. She and her maid are traveling in an enclosed wagon, while her husband and his grooms and a squire are mounted.
When the party arrives at Bampton Castle neither the lady nor her maid are within the enclosed wagon: they have simply vanished. As the disappearance may have happened while the travelers were on Lord Gilbert’s lands, his surgeon and bailiff, Hugh de Singleton, is assigned to discover what has happened to the lady. Has she been taken? Her has she fled her husband?
A few days later her husband receives a ransom demand, and Hugh is named to deliver the money. Why him? The ransom is paid, but the lady is not returned. Can Hugh help find her, or is it already too late?

Good Storyline, unusual
Not my favourite narrator but improved from the earlier books. Story had a good twist but felt like it was being belaboured somewhat.

Good for those with very short attention spans …
… Because if you come back to it 5 minutes later you’ll hear exactly the same thing. The tales are obviously written for educated goldfish - could be interesting- some have been - not this one. This one seems to be a ‘rip off’ (heavy hinted clue …) of the last one I listened to. I only get the free versions - wouldn’t spend money on them. Good for housework or making jam ….

Without a Trace
I do like these books but find them rather repetitive. For example the clue of a coloured thread from a coathardie has come up quite a few times. The author repeats himself regarding his likes in each book. I like the medieval recipes and even tried a Leach Lombardy once which turned out quite acceptably.
It seems as if modern ideas about women are contrasted with their medieval treatment by men. For example abuse by husbands and escape to an Abbey/convent. Divorce was not countenanced. More often annulment.
I like the gentle pace of life in the 14th century. I have looked up the places so can visualise the geography.
More please.

Let down by narration
Let down by a return to old narrator while although he is OK its just not the right voice for Sir Hue and Tim Bruce was doing a far better job. Good story though as always.

Great series
I'm doing a review for the whole series as I've left it so long since I started listening to them.
I would highly recommend this series and in fact I have done so to a number of people already. Very impressed with the writing, the research that seems to have been done and the historical accuracy is excellent.
Nice characters, good pace, interesting stories. Really interesting to see the ability of surgeons then and the ways Hugh deducts things.
