The King, Henry II, derives significant tax income from the Jews, and does not want his monetary flow disrupted. Their deaths have been staged to appear as if they were carried out by the Jews of the town, and two prominent members of the Jewish community have already been killed by scared and angry Cambridge residents. In 1171, four young children in Cambridge have been brutally mutilated and murdered. The main one is that the herbal expert, healer, and sleuth is a female from Salerno – Adelia Aguilar – who is also, and primarily, a forensic specialist into causes of death. But there are some significant differences. Mistress of the Art of Death also takes place in the twelfth century, albeit a bit later than the Peters books. Ellis Peters, you may know, is the author of the Brother Cadfael series – mysteries that take place in the mid-twelfth century. This absorbing suspense novel that takes place in medieval times won the Ellis Peters Historical Dagger Award.
