5.0 out of 5 stars Roger the Chapman is back in fine fettle!, 30 Jan 2004
By Billy J. Hobbs "billhobbs" (Tyler, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
It’s murder most foul. And Roger the Chapman, Kate Sedley’s ubiquitous pedlar cum sleuth, finds himself deeply involved in a most perplexing case.

Master Capstick, an aging but wealthy man, is found brutally murdered and his great-nephew, who’d just been cut out of the will, has been charged with the homicide.
Alas, the nephew, young Beric, has disappeared! Locals are quick to point out that he has eaten of the Saint John’s fern, which makes a person invisible at will!

Thus, for half a year the chase has been on and no one is able to locate Beric. But, of course, along trods Roger and before a day’s wages can be made, he’s completely
involved in this mystery.

It’s 1477 and the war of the Roses is heating up. Author Sedley neatly weaves in this historical setting to enhance the suspense that her plot has generated. In this, the
ninth installment of the Roger the Chapman series, Sedley is in fine form, perhaps with the most exciting of all the episodes.

“Saint John’s Fern” is a quick and absorbing read, as the book deftly dabbles with issues that are time-worn and time-laden. Sedley never misses a beat!
