Excellent read. This is volume two of the story of Vesuvia Adelia Aguilar, a female doctor sent to England to help solve crimes. Being a female doctor in the Middle Ages has it's problems and she is constantly going up against bias against her gender as well as the distrust of science by the church. These books are extremely well written and have great characters. This volume deals with trying to solve who murdered Henry II's mistress. If Adelia can't figure it out, Civil War might break out again with devasting consequences for England. Tough to put this book down.
