Helpful Score: 2

An NYT bestseller, this is both a modern murder mystery and a medieval exploration of the Albigensian Crusade, since our lead character is descended from a woman of those days. I thought I knew enough about this hideous case of Christians "crusading" against other Christians in southwestern France, but it was still powerful and wrenching to read.
