A good though gruesome read

"Mistress of the Art of Death", Arianna Franklin Very good but involving some horrid murders of children - so be warned; but set in Cambridge in 1100 with two Italians sent to investigate the deaths. The pathologist happens to be a woman who although rare in Italy it is accepted but in England it is quite shocking. There were some nice nuances in the interpersonal relationships and not everything comes easily. I had a hard time putting it down.
