I just finished Serpent in the Thorns A Medieval Noir by Jeri Westerson the second in the series about disgraced knight Crispen Guest. She really fleshed out Crispen in this second offering. Crispen is called to a murder by a simple girl who believes she has killed a French courtier who has come bearing a gift to King Richard II, the gift is not stolen however and it is nothing less than "the" Crown of Thorns. It is all about betrayal in this installment. I see Crispen easily becoming one of the historical hunks, honorable underdog you can't help rooting for. 4.5 stars
