A Year In Oxford- A Geoffrey Chaucer Mystery- Tim Shaw- 5 Stars- Love Geoffrey ~

Geoffrey Chaucer is a favorite of mine to read about and Tim Shaw's mysteries represent him so well. Delighted to have gotten a "first look" at it, hoping book 3 will start him into his adult years with family.

"A young Geoffrey Chaucer is sent to Oxford University to study, but soon starts to notice a disturbing pattern of "accidental" deaths. What is the significance of the phrases left on fresh graves, and which of his fellow students might be a murderer? Also, will he be able to keep up with his homework?"

Well Geoffrey kept up his homework but still kept delving into a mystery which began to prove dangerous for him. Fortunately he had other employ to fall back on and rewards for his prior services.

My very favorite part of the story takes place at the beginning when the daughter of Gilles, the Queen's usher, Philippa Roet " at the age of not-yet-ten.. would foolishly go for a walk on the ice at the ponds near Woodstock Castle"..
Enter Geoffrey Chaucer as hero and " that is when I learned about Gilles and the de Roet family"

You need to get your own copy which is out now at Amazon and read about the mystery which ensues.
