My overall opinion: In all my reading, I have never before read a medieval mystery! And that is exactly what this one is. :) It was interesting and exciting – not to mention that I learned stuff about medieval things from it! I didn’t love it, but it was an interesting one time read.

I just started reading this one, after having read two others in the series (the second and fourth not in order- I got them from the library). Reviews may be seen on my blog.
I liked them, though they are not my favorites.
The descriptions of Medieval Surgery are particularly interesting I think, considering how this seems to be a much maligned as misunderstood profession.
They are set in the 1300s by the way. The 1360s to be precise.
