Description
In Mistress of the Art of Death, Ariana Franklin crafts a masterful blend of historical fiction and suspense. The year is 1171, and King Henry II faces a crisis: children are being murdered in Cambridge, and the local Jews are blamed. To uncover the truth, Henry summons a team of investigators from Italy—including Adelia Aguilar, a rare female doctor skilled in forensic science.
As Adelia navigates political intrigue, religious prejudice, and deadly secrets, she must use her knowledge of medicine and deduction to catch a killer before more lives are lost. Perfect for fans of historical thrillers, strong female protagonists, and richly detailed medieval settings.
