The 1066 via Derby (The Chronicles of Brother Hermitage, #18)

The Normans are in town; beware, be careful or be dead…

An old wise woman of Derby is dead, and Brother Hermitage has been asked to deal with her.
This means she must have been murdered; people only die of murder when Brother Hermitage is in town.

And if she was murdered, who on earth would do that to an old wise woman in her own hovel, for goodness sake?

The Norman soldiers camping just down the road? Quite likely.
The local people who seem to have good reason to hate her? Quite possibly.
Anyone...
