Interesting story and a quick read. I didn't read the first in this series, and I don't think you need to as enough is explained in this, the second, book.

It's the tale of an ordinary tradesman, who sells from town to town, and his involvement with royalty and political intrigue. In this case, he is to accompany a royal messenger, an unpleasant person who seems to have a number of people who wish him ill.

If you keep your wits about you, you can easily identify the person who succeeds in killing the messenger long before it becomes obvious to Roger the Chapman. I say "long before," but the entire story takes place over only a few days.
