First âRoger the Chapmanâ medieval mystery series set in 1470's England. I've been waiting awhile to read this book and must say it's worth the wait. It's one of the best first-person POV books I've read in a long time. In this book, we meet a young Roger as he leaves the Abbey of Glastonbury, a former novice monk, now a traveling chapman or peddler. His first destination is the city of Bristol, where he meets the cook and housekeeper of a local Alderman who introduces him to his first mystery, a young man of the house who disappeared in London a few months ago. Well-written, with interesting historical detail and an episode in history that I also encountered in Sharon Kay Penman's The Sunne in Splendour, but with a decidedly different twist. More! More!
