The Apothecary Rose by Candace Robb
4.0
This is the first in the series following Owen & Lucie Archer. This introduces us to Owen, follows as he gets his training assignment to track down a strange murder in York—where he simultaneously falls in love with Lucie (the Rose of the title) and also finds she may be the prime suspect.
An excellent series. Good complex plots, good historical detail (but not too much), good characters—including strong women.
2020 note: Also, this mystery is set during the reign of Edward III, during the time of the Black Prince, which is a great period for setting stories, but underused compared to Tudor England and WWII.
