Publisher Synopsis
"Samantha Norman, completes Ariana Franklin's superb Mistress of the Art of Death medieval mystery series with an appropriate homage, a story featuring mother-and-daughter sleuths. The forensic procedures are appropriately grotesque (leeches, anyone?), and the period settings run to luscious details, like "a perfect pastry sculpture of the baby Jesus" at a sumptuous Christmas banquet. Don't be distracted from Norman's true theme; namely, the crushingly limited life choices for women - even the most highborn women - of this period." -- <strong>Marilyn Stasio, <em>New York Times</em></strong> "Medieval-mystery writing at its best." -- <strong><em>New York Daily News</em></strong> "An exhilarating whodunit and my favorite book of the year." -- Tess Gerritsen on <em>A Murderous Procession</em> Read more...
