About this listen
Delve into the world of fourteenth-century England, in this thrilling historical mystery. It may be enjoyed as complete in itself or as part of the Hugh de Singleton medieval mystery series.
When Hugh and Kate’s newborn son is taken to the church to be baptized, they are astounded to find that the locked font is completely dry. The possibility of a leak is quickly ruled out, and just as Hugh is beginning to wonder if there may be a sinister explanation for the stolen holy water, Father Robert is found lying motionless by the rood screen in a pool of blood.
Meanwhile, parliament has passed a poll tax, stipulating that everyone above the age of fourteen is to be taxed equally. Folk are soon scrambling to find the money to pay, and, inevitably, unscrupulous elements in society see an opportunity to feed off people’s desperation and make some cash. But what connection can there possibly between this and events at Bampton?

Good old goings on at Galen house
Yet again another brilliant tale. Shame it was quite short. Like Christmas had come round again to have another instalment…looking forward to May for the next one.

Much too short!
Great story and a good addition to the series. Was very cross at being given an opening for the next mystery in the closing pages. Typical serial tactics I felt manipulated.

Disappointing.
After waiting for the next instalment for some time I must say I was disappointed both with the length of the story and the numerous flaws in the plot. I hope the next tale is more in the vein of Mr Starrs` earlier works.
Still enjoy listening to Tim Bruce but even he could not lift this lead weight out of the font it was submerged in!
