Synopsis

Master Hugh won the Black Prince’s favor when he helped to ease the Prince’s illness. Now, in the autumn of 1372, the prince is suffering a relapse and sends to Bampton for Master Hugh to attend him. While at dinner in Kennington Palace, Sir Giles, the knight who escorted Hugh to London, is stricken and dies. Poison! Sir Giles is not popular, and there are many who would gladly see the fellow done away with, except for Prince Edward. The Black Prince feels a debt to the slain man because of his heroic behavior at the Battle of Crécy, where the knight stood firm with the prince when the fight seemed of uncertain outcome. Despite caring little for Sir Giles, Master Hugh must once again place himself in jeopardy and seek to uncover the perpetrator of the crime.

Goodreads review by Jennifer on February 24, 2023

I have obviously invested in this series if I am on book 11, however, Hugh has become increasingly arrogant through this series which I find very frustrating. He has a thinly veiled, high opinion of himself which permeates most of his interactions with a pseudo humility. It's hard to read a book whe......more

Goodreads review by Lynne on September 23, 2018

Love Hugh de Singleton. I'm ready for #12. This is a good mystery with a twist at the end. I kept thinking that I would have liked a map of London during this time period. There is a small map of the palace, but I would like to have seen it in a larger context. Also, I missed his family. I think Mr.......more
