About this deal

To prove his innocence John must help the coroner in his search for the killer, a quest that brings him up against some powerful enemies in a town where he is still a stranger and friends are few. But no sooner does he begin than the master carpenter is murdered and John himself becomes a suspect. His travels bring him to Chesterfield, where he finds work erecting the spire of the new church. Chris Nickson brilliantly evokes the feeling of time and place in this story of corruption and murder. 1361: Orphaned by the Black Death, all John possesses are the tools that belonged to his father, a carpenter, and an uncanny ability to work wood.

Reviews

Paul Rodgers

I really enjoyed this book . Normally takes me a while to get into a book. Very clever. Length short but it works for the author's style.

Not just of local interest, though admittedly having the Peak District on our door step adds a level of relatability, creating more of an atmosphere for the mystery. Never had this problem. What an excellent read. I also enjoyed Mr Hurndall's previous book Pottery Cottage and can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

Jessica Honess

The author also gives a snapshot of social history, shining a light on the murders, the investigation and the attitudes of the time. On both occasions I've finished them in 48hrs. Real page turners full of facts. The author has clearly explored all avenues each leading to more intrigue.
