#4 Roger the Chapman historical mystery in which Roger gets involved in investigating the deaths of two young children that were ruled to be death by a wandering band of vicious outlaws. But those close to the family in question aren't so sure, and Roger's curiosity along with his budding interest in the children's former nurse leads him down a dangerous path of investigation. Once again, I really enjoyed the "voice" of Roger, and the book seemed to go by much too quickly. I did figure out the mystery well in advance, though. Looking forward to the next in series.
Roger the Chapman arrives in the village of Totnes, where he hears the frightening tale of a marauding band of outlaws which has been terrorizing the town and who are accused of murdering two missing children. But something about the tale doesn't ring true. Another 15th century murder mystery solved by the traveling saleman.
I enjoy the Roger the Chapman series. He's back on the road again doing God's work solving the disappearence and subsequent murder of two children

Another excellent, but very involved, mystery starring Roger the Chapman. While one evil criminal is apparent to the reader toward the end of the book, the solution is not yet complete, although a hint is given before Roger reveals all.
And if my mind had not been asleep while my eyes were reading, I may have realized, from several hints given throughout the book, just how the evidence of murder was removed from the crime scene.
You can't win them all.
