If you love historical mysteries, particularly The Name of the Rose, you'll enjoy this book. Set near the English Civil War, An Instance of the Fingerpost lets you unravel the mystery of an Oxford don's death, the nature of truth, and the experience of 17th century England through the tales of four very different narrators. It's a great vacation read!
