But otherwise it's shaping up into a nice mystery set just before the Black Death killed almost half the population in England. |
I don't think it's a spoiler to mention that the Black Death actually reaches Cambridge (where the novel is set) during the course of the novel.
An excellent historical mystery. Although I would have appreciated a note about which characters were historical and which were made up.
Next up:
The Magic Casement by Dave Duncan. Fortuitously, the first in one of his fantasy series. I got them they were on special offer last year.
Looking like a slightly above average fantasy at present. Mediaeval to renaissance technology and some magic.
