Helpful Score: 5

Another of my favorite medieval mystery series, this one featuring Oxford physician Matthew Bartholomew. This first book takes place during the Black Death of 1347/8 and chronicles very well the horror it must have been for a caring physician. There also are a couple of murders taking place and a lesser person would probably have written off the dead bodies as plague victims, yet Matthew cannot do so in good conscience. Excellently done book.
