The Huntman’s Tale is the third instalment in the Oxford Murder Mystery series by Ann Swinfen. Learning from the previous one, there weren’t bodies laying around Oxford or mysteries to be solved. It was only the case of Emma running away from Godstow Abbey to get away from her stepfather. But as I said, the ending didn’t seem very conclusive. I think it’s temporary, and therefore, anything else can happen, especially if Sir Anthony is destined to die sometimes in this book or the following ones.

The Novice’s Tale is the second instalment in the Oxford Murder Mystery series by Ann Swinfen. By the title, I pretty much guess that my suspicion about something from the first book will be confirmed. I refrain from reading other reviews prior to reading this one because I’m afraid my suspicion will be prematurely confirmed. Whatever that means, Dee. I have learned from the first book that the title cannot mean that the novice kills someone.

With it’s magnificent cover, The Bookseller’s Tale can be a story about anything. Is this about a murder of a bookseller? Or the bookseller is the murderer? Is/are the murder(s) related to something about books?

Wolf of Wessex begins when Odin, the dog, led Dunston to a corpse in the forest. Accompanying the corpse was a cart full of valuables. A bit later on, Dunston met a young girl, Aedwen, who claimed that her father had been murdered.

The Unquiet Bones is the first book in the series of Hugh de Singleton adventure in the late 1300s Bampton, England. I don’t remember how I found Melvin Starr books, but I did. Probably Goodreads’ algorithm suggested his book to my shelves when I was browsing around. The title and the cover intrigued me to find this book, and I was a little bit excited to realise that this is yet another historical crime fiction series right up my alley.

A Time for Swords is a tale of cultural discoveries, a self-revealing journey and friendships created after the raids of the Norsemen in Lindisfarne.
