Mistress of the Art of Death Part II

Described as 'CSI meets Canterbury Tales', this twelfth century tale has interesting characters, facts, and a great plot. The fact that the criminal investigator is a woman adds to the intensity of the story. The only negative for me personally is my discomfort with children and torture and pure evil. Actually Arianna Franklin handles these aspects as well as could be expected allowing me to continue with this page turner until the very end.
