Helpful Score: 2

The beginning of an interesting series of Medieval mysteries by Doherty. In some respects, the plot of this book followed the plot of the Matthew Shardlake books by Sansom. Or is it the other way around, as I think Doherty's books were published first?

Whatever... If you liked one series, you will probably enjoy the other also.

Warning: I also noticed that both throw in sex at places where they probably weren't needed. So, if that is not to your taste...

And both series go out of the way to remind us how filthy London was back then.
