A unique take on a medieval murder mystery. Plenty of intrigue and suspicion, but the plot focuses on the why rather than the who, which is never really in doubt.

The writing style is good, solid, and the switches in character keep the story flowing. Due to the character shifts however, there are fewer mysteries, as the suspicious characters clear themselves through their own thoughts.

There is a particular character that stands out as very intriguing/well written, as he is disliked and distrusted by almost all but the lead character. This was another unique device that I enjoyed. His presence did speed the plot along, but I felt his ending was a bit abrupt.

Would recommend as worth a read, but not up to the standards of some other authors I have read in this genre.

Las calles de la inquietante ciudad medieval de York se han llenado de gente de todo el condado para la celebración del Corpus Christi. Dentro de la imponente catedral, un aterrorizado niño de ocho años es testigo de un asesinato.
Ante la conmoción suscitada, el arzobispo John Thoresby se ve obligado a resolver el crimen con rapidez para mantener la calma y así evitar las iras del Rey. Con este fin contrata los servicios de Owen Archer, quien deberá abandonar la vida plácida junto a su esposa Lucie para buscar al joven testigo del crimen, sumergirse en las intrigas de los poderosos comerciantes laneros y procurar detener la sucesión de muertes que se ha desencadenado.… (meer)

Estamos en 1363. En la catedral de York, dos hombres sin relación alguna, un anónimo peregrino y un influyente noble, acaban de morir en extrañas circunstancias. Sólo tienen un denominador común: ambos tomaron las plantas medicinales que el boticario mayor, Nicholas Wilton, cultiva en su jardín. El arzobispo de York pide a Owen Archer, capitán retirado, que investigue las misteriosas muertes.
