A band of traveling players make an arrangement to play for a local landowner in exchange for board until their upcoming Celebration they are playing. When a man is murdered and dumped outside the barn they are staying in, Joliffe investigates.
I love the historical detail of Margaret Frazer's works and this is no different. I like Joliffe and the players and enjoyed the dynamics. It is also interesting to see "The Crowner" and how death was investigated in the 15th century.
This was the first in a new series and the mystery part was pretty weak (the murder was wayyyy in for those who that bothers) but I will give it another shot. So, basically - it was just ok overall.
