Another well written tale of politics and intrigue. A restless messenger charged with delivering an important letter needs some protecting to get out of Plymouth safely. Fortunately or unfortunately for Roger Chapman the Duke of Gloucester trusts no one in these unsettled times when brother vs brother, but Roger has proven his mettle once before and seems the perfect man for the job.

Unsavory characters, tension and some superstition all meld together to make for a quick read. As the story winds up it becomes a bit transparent, but is still engaging and worth the read.

Of all of Kate Sedley's Roger the Chapman mysteries that I've read so far, this is the one with the most haunting ending.
