This is another book in the Hugh Corbett medieval sleuth series, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was sufficiently 'creeped out' by the description and happenings in the forest, happy at the introduction of a new supporting character and surprised to learn who the culprit was at the end. (Although I did think that demon archer was a harsh description of the villain).
I thought Corbett 'got to the point' quicker in this book with more investigating and less reflection, and I enjoyed the quicker pace.
If you enjoy a good crime story set in medieval times, this is a terrific series.
My rating = ***
Carpe Librum!
A nice little escapist story set in places that I know. I enjoyed the story, but still hate the Norman/Plantagenet ethos.
