About this ebook
Since losing his knighthood, Crispin Guest has crafted a reputation throughout London. From the shadowy corners of the city to the exclusive halls of the royal court he is known as the Tracker, an investigator for hire who can find anyone or anything. But when the Archbishop of Canterbury hires him to expose the culprit threatening the sacred relics of a holy martyr, Guest finds himself a stranger in an unfamiliar land.
Within a city of pilgrims and priests, he unexpectedly encounters his former friend Geoffrey Chaucer, poet, rabble-rouser and liege to Crispin’s former master. Chaucer and his group of fellow pilgrims all have tales to tell...and secrets to hide. After a murder befalls the cathedral, Guest, together with his faithful servant Jack, has been tasked with uncovering the dark truth. Among hallowed tombs of soldiers and saints, in a world of ancient secrets and undying vendettas, Guest must identify the murderous heretic among holy men if he has any hope of returning home.
The riveting fourth book in the Crispin Guest series re-imagines the world of The Canterbury Tales in an engaging, suspenseful mystery. Troubled Bones was nominated for the Macavity, the Agatha, Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice, and the Bruce Alexander Historical Mystery awards.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Crispin Guest and his sidekick (er, protoge) young Jack Tucker are called to Canterbury to protect the relics of St Thomas a Beckett. While there, they happen to run into Cris' old friend, Geoffrey Chaucer and his band of pilgrims, who start being killed off almost as soon as they arrive. Cris (and Jack, who is very insightful) sett out to solve the murders, as well as to find the now-missing bones. It took awhile to get into this, but once the characters started to settle into my brain, it was a bit of a romp! (Now I want to go back and read earlier titles in the series.) Pretty fast-moving, and really keeps the reader guessing (although I guessed who-done-it long before Jack and Cris). Jack is a young teen and plays an active role in the solving of the mystery, so this also has appeal for younger readers.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my all-time favorites.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another enjoyable adventure with Mediaeval sleuth Crispin Guest and his trusty assistant Jack Tucker. This time, employed in Canterbury on a job to protect the bones of St Thomas A Beckett, Crispin and Jack are soon caught up in murder and mystery seemingly centered on the Saint's remains.
