    An English army invades Scotland in order to put King James the Thirds renegade younger brother, the Duke of Albany, on the Scottish throne. Albany insists his old acquaintance, Roger the Chapman, be a member of his personal bodyguard. But during the march northwards, a series of sinister events, centred around the cult figure of the mythical Green Man, makes Roger question Albanys true motive for requesting his presence . . .

      One reason I like reading series in order, even when each book stands on its own, is that I like to watch the writer improve, as he or she almost invariably does. This is the first of the Chapman series in which I didn't guess the solution of the mystery almost from the beginning. I must admit that I tend to guess the solution less by my logic and puzzle-solving abilities than by my sense of literary convention--you know, "there's only one lesbian; she's probably the murderer," "we're only halfway through the novel, therefore this suspect probably isn't the guilty one," "this suspect was the first but had an alibi, so it'll probably be disproven," that sort of stuff. As the hints about The Green Man begann to accumulate, however, and especially after Roslyn Chapel was mentioned, I began to suspect where the plot was tending, although not the particulars of its climax. The next novel in the series is even better at keeping me guessing, and the one after that, better yet. But whether I guess the solution or not, I find history easier to learn when it's the setting for a novel, and have enjoyed the whole series enough to give it three stars; with The Green Man, the novels start earning a bit more.

      Hmmm, This book was harder to get through than some of the other Roger the Chapman mysteries. The topic was, more often than not, usually about food, eating, "shitting" and "pissing." The author spent more time teasing the reader that there was something "mysterious" and dangerous about the Green Man than fleshing out the plot.
