Book Reviews of Mistress of the Art of Death
Book Review: "Bones" set in the 12th Century!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. If you enjoy the show "Bones" on Fox, then you will like this book. Adelia is wonderful and complex character and completely reminds me of Temperence Brennen. It is a very complex and twisted mystery Adelia unravels with the help of Sir Rowley at the behest of King Henry II. Christian children are being found crucified and King Henry doesn't appreciate the townspeople blaming the very taxable Jews. So he sends to Salerno for a Master of Death. He gets a Mistress of Death, i.e. a female coroner, absolutely unheard of in a country which abhors the dissection of human remains. If you love a good mystery and enjoy immersing yourself in history, then this is the book for you!
