Roger doesn't want to stay home in Wells and become a stone carver like his father so he gets a back and becomes a traveling peddler or chapman. On his travels who learns about some people who suddenly never to be seen again disappeared in London. Roger promises the father of a missing young man that he will look into it when he gets to London. Adventures follow. Goed pakkend verhaal, met aandacht voor de tijd. Het boek werd verteld in de 'ik' vorm, iets waar ik zelf niet zo'n fan van ben. In dit geval verteld Roger, de 'ik', het verhaal tegen het einde van zijn leven, en blikt steeds terug. De personages waren goed uitgelicht, het verhaal duidelijk, en de historische feiten zijn goed belicht. Voor mij was het al vrij snel duidelijk wie de moordenaar(s) waren, toch eindigde het boek vrij verrassend. Dit boek is zeker de moeite van het lezen waard, zelfs zoveel jaar na het uitkomen. La posada siniestra da incio a la serie de novelas de misterio protagonizadas por Roger Chapman, un monje inglés que a finales del siglo XV cuelga los hábitos para recorrer los caminos como buhonero. En su primer viaje recibe alojamiento en casa de un concejal de Bristol cuyo hijo ha desaparecido. Movido por su insaciable curiosidad. Chapman emprende una investigación. Todas las pistas apuntan a una miesteriosa posada de Londres donde, como averiguará, son ya varios los desaparecidos. First “Roger the Chapman” medieval mystery series set in 1470’s England. I’ve been waiting awhile to read this book and must say it’s worth the wait. It’s one of the best first-person POV books I’ve read in a long time. In this book, we meet a young Roger as he leaves the Abbey of Glastonbury, a former novice monk, now a traveling chapman or peddler. His first destination is the city of Bristol, where he meets the cook and housekeeper of a local Alderman who introduces him to his first mystery, a young man of the house who disappeared in London a few months ago. Well-written, with interesting historical detail and an episode in history that I also encountered in Sharon Kay Penman’s The Sunne in Splendour, but with a decidedly different twist. More! More!
