I have been reading a series by Ariana Franklin called Mistress of the Art of Death about Adelia a female forensics expert in the time of King Henry 11. Ariana Franklin also wrote under her married name Diana Norman, she was married to the TV film critic Barry Norman. Her books cover several periods in history and are very well researched. I will be sad to have finished reading her books and would very much appreciate recommendations in the Historical fiction genre. I also enjoyed reading Minette Walters The Last Hours, a book about the plague and it's sequel (a change from her usual thrillers) and the Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries by Ashley Gardner.
They're Back! Swifts zinging around!
