The Apothecary Rose by Candace Robb

4.0

Pretty good medieval mystery with an interesting protagonist. My only real beef with it is that the whodunnit is a bit weak as it turns out that

Spoiler

the murderer in question was obviously the person responsible from the start, without there being any real possible competing candidates

. Owen also had quite a bit of help from various parties being unexpectedly willing to cooperate with him, which I thought diminished my sense of his competence. Still, it was pretty interesting - I've always liked medieval mysteries - and will be looking for the second.
