My rating of the book, F- [worst] to A [best]: B

Description of the book: When the murders of children in an English town get pinned on the jewish community, The King must find a solution so that he does not lose the taxes from this group. He hires Adelia Aguilar, a Doctor trained in the art of death. She is the best and she must find out who murdered the children.
Review: If you want a good mystery placed in medieval england, this is the book for you. It is quite graphic at times so be forewarned. The last 100 pages was probably the most interesting for me. I enjoyed a lot of the scenery descriptions at the beginning of the book too.
