This mystery takes place in the 14th Century. A former captain of archers is now working undercover as an apprentice apothecary. Hmmmmm.... a former soldier now working with herbs. Skip back two centuries and you might confuse him with Brother Cadfael.

Well, who cares if maybe the author took a good idea from Ellis Peters. Robb then modified it a bit and produced a good story. I found myself ignoring my other open books and continually picking this one up to read.

Not only did I enjoy the story, but I learned something too. I never knew the Church employed summoners to ferret out sin.

While the chief protagonist is male, the ladies will enjoy the book as there are at least three or four strong woman characters.
