The Apothecary Rose: A Medieval Mystery

Rating:
Summary: Apothecary Rose a winner
Review: I didn't expect such bold writing and characterisation in the medieval genre, and greatly enjoyed the book. I ended up engaged in what happens to the central characters, and very interested in where they might go next.

Summary: Good read!
Review: I don't know what the editorial reviews are for, but it's not this book. The Apothecary Rose is set in the latter half of the fourteenth century in England, and is the first of the Owen Archer mysteries. Following two mysterious deaths at an abbey, Owen Archer is sent to investigate by the Archbishop of York. There's also an interesting touch of romance between Owen Archer and Lucie Wilton, which only added to the book. I definitely recommend reading it!
