England, 1106 A.D., forty years after the Conquest.

When a Norman earl is killed while hunting, the dead man's son invokes the dreaded murdrum law. This law presumes that the killer is English, and it requires the judicial district in which the crime took place to produce the guilty man or be hit with a massive fine.

The job of finding the killer falls to Miles Edwulfson, an English ploughman of noble descent. Miles served as a soldier with the earl in Wales, twenty years earlier, an experience that changed his life. Miles has two problems. First, he doesn't believe the killer was English, but a member of the earl's hunting party. Second, the arrow used in the crime belongs to Miles's son, Aelred.

Facing opposition from the Norman nobility, his fellow Englishmen, and even his own family, Miles must save Aelred's life and bring the real killer to justice.

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be a writer. I was one of those kids who always had his nose stuck in a book. My head was full of exotic characters and places and events, and my dream was to be able to create stories like the ones I read. Now that I actually am a writer, I sometimes can't believe it's happened. It seems like it was someone else who wrote those books. Either way, it's a dream come true.

Influences? C.S. Forester (the one and only), Robert Louis Stevenson, Agatha Christie, and others too numerous to mention. Contemporary influences -- the late George MacDonald Fraser and Bernard Cornwell.

5 STARS, 11 CENTURY CRIME, FULL OF ACTION

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

5 STARS for this worthy crime mystery novel during a time we usually never get much information on, the 11th century or about. We are schooled about murdrum & how it affects everyone from the villains who aren't even free but work the lands & everything that makes life function for the lords, clergy, royalty, & free men few that they were. The landowners & business men also would have to pay a few if one of their own was responsible or found responsible for the murdrum.
A very exciting way to see how the French & English pioneered their murder laws. Lots of details of time period & plenty of fighting action of that time using their weapons.

Bad plot

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 24, 2021

The plot in this otherwise well written story just doesn't hang together.
Why would the surprise murderer go to the scene of the crime if he knew the entire trial officials would be there?

This is another tremendous novel by Robert Broomall

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

Murdrum is not only a fast-paced, gripping story of men at war and a history lesson made alive like the Death's Head trilogy, also by Broomall, it's also a twisting mystery that had me puzzledto the very end.

A great surprise ending

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

This. novel did a good job of presenting the English dilemma of responding to murdrum. It was also successful in keeping the reader in suspense. A side story highlighted the still simmering relations between Anglo-Saxon and Danish descendants.

Disappointing

Historically interesting. Didn't like the American phrases, and spellings. No real depth to the characters, and a missed opportunity sadly

Great story and historical background. My only criticism is that I found the ‘flashbacks’ a bit too extensive for the story.

Intriguing and worth a read

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on September 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

Interesting. Kept me engaged although in the end I didn’t feel the angst I think the author intended. Quite a journey through the period following the Norman Conquest when the trajectory of England and Britain changed. A people living under an oppressive invader’s hierarchy loosing their rights and coming to terms with the reality that no warrior saviour will liberate them.
