I
received a copy of THE ABBOT’S AGREEMENT by Mel Starr from Lion Hudson via
Kregel in exchange for an honest review.
It is the latest installment in the Chronicles
of Hugh de Singleton, surgeon. I
have read other novels in the series and greatly enjoyed them – nothing tickles
my taste buds more than historical mystery – so I knew I would love this
story.
Master
Hugh is a medieval surgeon. In this
adventure, he comes across a young Benedictine boy and he takes the body to a
nearby abbey. The novice master asks
Hugh to investigate who stabbed the boy.
Of course Hugh does.
These
novels transport you back to Medieval England.
The setting and characters ring true, with sayings, habits, and
names. Nothing feels out of place or too
modern. The best part is that if you
enjoy this story, there are more in store for you! This installment, as with the others, can be
a standalone novel; however, those who love Hugh will delight in seeing more of
him and a few familiar characters. The
reader is captivated from cover to cover.
I highly recommend this to fans of historical fiction, mystery, and
Christian fiction. I applaud Mel Starr
for his ability to weave an exciting, detailed story.
