Customer Reviews of Death and the Chapman (Medieval Mystery)

An awesome Night in Central London
Let's say something about the book with the German title "Die letzte Rast". (The English title "Death of a Chapman" is much better in my opinion!)
A brief description of the story is already on this site so I leave this out.
This book was a christmas present and so I didn't want to read it for a few years. But often the things you don't really want to do are the best ones:
I was soon captured by the story simply because of the colorful description of medieval England together with the possibilty to identify myself completely with the hero Roger Chapman.
This is also due to the a-little-bit-flat description of his character. (Is flat description of advantage in crime stories? Think of Sherlock Holmes!)
The plot is straightforward and very original. In fact, it is guaranteed that it will scare you quite a bit at least if you are on a business trip and have to spend your night in a guesthouse!
It will not be easy for the follow-ups (there are two yet!) to do as good as this one.
