Prince Edward's Warrant by Mel Starr
After he eased Prince Edward's discomfort at Limoges in France, surgeon Hugh de Singleton is summoned to London to once again aid the ailing prince. But shortly after they arrive in London, one of Hugh's traveling companions dies while dining with the prince. Prince Edward tasks Hugh with determining the cause of death and unmasking the culprit.
Enjoyable historical mystery series set in 14th century England. This is a well-researched series and the reader is immersed in the daily life of 14th century England. I also enjoy Master Hugh's meditations on God, religion, life, and the nobility, and his devotion to his Kate and family. The town of Bampton, Hugh's home, still exists today and was used for the village scenes for the Downton Abbey series. The glossary of medieval terms is appreciated. Readers of historical fiction will enjoy this series.
