Return to The DIngle by Howard of Warwick Book Summary

Brother Hermitage wants there to be a murder? This can’t be right. In all of his previous excursions, he’s been pretty meticulous about avoiding the things.

When an instruction arrives from the Normans to find a missing person, Hermitage seems keen to shirk his duty. At least that’s a familiar theme. But he’s the King’s Investigator, he doesn’t do missing persons, that must be someone else’s job.

Knowing where the person may have gone missing might explain the trepidation.
The clue’s in the title; De’Ath’s Dingle.

That grim and dreadful monastery, which looms over Hermitage’s life like a falling loom, is calling him back. Perhaps he can try not listening.
It will only be full of the old familiar faces, up to their old revolting tricks. And if someone has gone missing there, all hope is gone.

But a shadow gathers in the west and the monastery is falling into darkness. Well, more darkness than normal.

With Wat, Cwen and Bart, Hermitage tramps his reluctant path back to the Dingle, always hopeful that someone might be murdered on the way as a distraction.

When he finally gets there, things are not at all as they should be. They should be truly awful, but this is simply peculiar. There is obviously something going on.

Hermitage can see it, so why doesn’t anyone else believe him?

And even when there is a murder, it doesn’t help much.
