The Chronicles of Hugh de Singleton, Surgeon

review 1: I have decided not to read additional books in this series as the writing is not appealing to me for a few reasons. I wanted to like these books due to era, place and potential drama, but cannot invest more time hoping the writing will improve as I go along. The sentences are generally short, yielding choppy action and a stilted unreeling of the plot. Then there is the important lack of wit...a big component for me when it comes to following an author. The main character is certainly not heroic and could be considered slow. I guess you could say I join the miscreants who knocked him over the head repeatedly since he didn't seem to care anyway.
review 2: When Alan, the beadle of the manor of Bampton, is found dead, it is the bailiwick of Master Hugh de Singleton... more, surgeon and bailiff of the manor, to investigate. The setting in the 14th century is well researched and Hugh is a likeable character even though he gets bashed in the head with alarming frequency. He is a former student of Oxford and sometimes goes down to visit his old master John Wycliffe. The mystery unfolds at a leisurely pace as Hugh is also looking for a likely candidate for his wife. less
