I began this compelling story, keeping a grain of salt next to me at all times. As soon as I heard the name “William Longspee,” that grain went into my pocket for easy access, and to remind me to do some fact-checking. I was especially interested because I’m working on a non-fiction book and a part of it has to do with Henry III.
As I listened , I became more and more engrossed in the story. An intelligent, well-educated medieval woman solving a crime? Accurate details? Oh boy! I almost felt bad about my plans to fact check.
Before this book was finished, I searched and found 8 more books in this series! I can’t wait for January 21, when I get my next batch of credits
AND, to top everything off, the author’s note at the end of the book dissolved all doubts I had as to the existence of this Countess of Salisbury, Sheriff.
Wonderfully written AND historically accurate!!!!

Slow and methodical, almost, I took frequent breaks to reemerge into the 21st century.
I’d not have faired well, personally, 800 years ago.
Enjoyable simple story
