An intriguing murder mystery, happening amongst the ecclesiastical politics of the early 14th century.
The pace of the story at the start is slow. If you don't like the idea of a book set in this time, the quality of the murder mystery is probably not good enough to overcome this.
For anyone with some knowledge of Latin, the book also provides a good opportunity to test this!
