Here Be Monsters
Here Be Monsters. More medieval mystery you can laugh at.
Brother Hermitage, our most medieval sleuth, is sent on another hopeless task – this time with monsters.
And the monsters are murdering people in Northantone. So said King William, so it must be true. Of course, Brother Hermitage doesn’t believe in such nonsense; it will all be some horrible misunderstanding.
In which case, explain what took Hunbeorht the hunter in the night. Followed by a fully armed Norman soldier. There are enough people in Northantone who do believe in the beast to make for a very fraught investigation.
And that’s before we hear about Wat the Weaver’s previous visit to town, and why he is not at all welcome.
Uncovering contradictions, liars and the just plain gullible has never been Hermitage’s strength, and when he’s surrounded by them, it only adds to the confusion.
Perhaps Hunbeorht had secrets? Perhaps the local Norman commander is one arrow short of a quiver? Or could the whole town be cursed and the monster is real?
It’s another highly entertaining Chronicle of Brother Hermitage.
Nearly a quarter of a million sales, thousands of reviews – most of them good – and a chance to discover that the people of the past were no better informed than we are.
