Huzursuz Kemikler: Cerrah Hugh De Singleton'ın İlk Günlüğü (2011)

Copy received from Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours for an honest reviewI was a little surprised that I liked this book so much, but it really was an entertaining read. I personally like when authors are able to juggle different aspects of a story and do they do it well. Mel Starr presents...

The Unquiet Bones (2008)

While no masterpiece, this was an enjoyable historical mystery. No aspects of this book stand out - the writing is good enough that it doesn't jar (like many sorry excuses for historical novels of today, which really are just badly written romance novels), the mystery itself is meager and easily ...

A Corpse at St Andrew's Chapel (2010)

A body is found. It looks like it's been savaged by an animal, possibly a wolf... only there haven't been wolves around here in ages. And there's other things that don't quite add up. Hugh de Singleton, surgeon and bailiff, starts to investigate.Apart from the first few paragraphs, that I found a...

Mürekkep İzi (2013)

Mel Starr is a good writer who manages to create a believable, English medieval world. I found the pace of this book slightly faster than his others - I think because it is set in a busy city (Oxford) - and the action is on the go throughout. I also like the way he has built his story up in stage...

The last book available at present in the Hugh de Singleton series, The Tainted Coin, ups the ante from previous books in terms of plot and pace. A man is found brutally beaten and dying on the steps of St Andrew’s Chapel. His last words, uttered to Hugh, revolve around a coin, which is later fou...

Unhallowed Ground

“Your appetite has returned?” “Some. Not in the morn, nor do I pine for roasted meat. But a piece of fish or a custard is pleasing, and this loaf suits me very well.” It had been three months and a few days since I met Kate, her father, and the wedding party at the porch of the Church of St Beorn...

A Trail of Ink

I was pleased to be seen once again as different from the horde of black-gowned youths and men who swarm Oxford’s streets. Benedict thought such a desire sinful, so his rule prescribed a uniform habit for monks of his house. I did not feel impious as I drew my fur coat over my shoulders. I felt w...

Rest Not in Peace

Lord Gilbert said when I greeted him next morn. “What say you? Have you any objection?” I had none. John Chamberlain was in attendance upon Lord Gilbert when I arrived at the solar, and he was sent to tell Sir Geoffrey that there were no objections to burying his companion this day. When the cham...

The Abbot's Agreement

But I am an inquisitive sort of man, and the noisy host caught my attention. It is said that curiosity killed the cat. It can prove hazardous for meddlesome bailiffs as well. I was on the road near Eynsham, on my way to Oxford. I did not travel muddy autumn roads for pleasure, although I thought ...

Re-read the 2nd book, found the first & am hooked. Now delighted to know so many more await! Very appreciative of Hugh's demeanor, humor and, not least, theology. Keep writing, please.
