A Wicked Deed

Cover A Wicked Deed
Authors:
Genres: Fiction
As the sky began to lighten, men, women and even children trudged wearily towards them, hoes and spades over their shoulders, their footsteps slow and unwilling. Although all seemed well-fed and healthy enough, it was a hard and dull life, and most were delighted to stop and talk to the Michaelhouse scholars, to break the monotony of toiling among Tuddenham’s ripening crops.
Many seemed to be exhausted before they even started, and yawned and stretched as they answered Michael’s patient questio
...ns. Bartholomew wondered whether the celebrations for the Pentecost Fair had extended longer than Tuddenham knew.
No one had anything of value to add regarding Unwin’s death. Most had spotted him at the Fair – they had been interested to see him because he was to have been their priest – but none had noticed him enter the church, or observed him speaking to anyone in particular before he died. They seemed genuinely appalled that a friar had been murdered in their village, but all declared that it was only to be expected once Unwin had set eyes on Padfoot.
