The bones find in the ashes. But who is the missing person? Master Hugh de Singleton must visit the nearby villages more than once to identify the possible victim - and the reason for the murder/s. 

I have quite enjoyed this historical murder mystery. Hugh de Singleton is a wise man with  dry humour, which I appreciate. And while Master Hugh is no brother Cadfael (my forever beloved detective from the past times of British realm), the mystery is quite well-written and interesting. And I appreciate to see how difficult such sleuthing must have been, based mostly on the sharp intellect of the sleuth!
But I must say that I like Hugh´s musings the most! :)

Book Eight in the Hugh de Singleton, Surgeon series and Master Hugh, Kate, and their children attend the Midsummer’s Eve bonfire.

These books are rich in drama and detail and are perfect to read just to while away the hours.

Perfect;y written and pure escapism i really enjoyed this one
