The vill of Sticklepath holds many dark secrets and when the skeleton of a young girl is found and rumours of cannibalism abound, Sir Baldwin and friends come to investigate.

The author is very good at invoking an atmosphere but be warned, it's a very depressing one.

Tournament of Blood | Michael Jecks
post image
Panpan

Simon Puttock organises a tournament for Lord Hugh, only to find his efforts come to nothing when bodies turn up and he is cast as main suspect.

Not 1 of the author's best. I kept getting some of the potential suspects muddled and realised who the murderer actually was pretty early on. Also 2 of the victims (out of 5) were a gay couple, IIRC the 1st gay characters in this series, but our sympathies were obviously meant to lie with the murderer.

Soft pick. It's beautifully illustrated, with in-line colour illustrations, but it feels a bit... random? There wasn't a lot that surprised me, and I'd be hard-pressed to pick out any main points.

Handbook of Medieval Sexuality | Vern L. Bullough, James Brundage

Pickpick

Originally read two essays for a class and then decided to read all of them. As all essay collections, somewhat uneven. Overall a pick, though, and I was especially amused that 90% had at least one paragraph complaining about Foucault (The History of Sexuality was pretty wrong about the medieval era.)
