Lost Innocents by Denise Domning
4.0
The third installment in the Servant of the Crown mysteries is as intriguing as the others. Although I would say in this one there is less emphasis on law and procedure and the mystery is a lot more complicated and convoluted.
There's also a good deal more humanity involved as the characters are confronted with the best and worst of human behaviour and some of their own hidden secrets some to light. Despised and marginalized people act in unexpected ways, and the respected with shame and dishonour.
I will say that in all of this, the characters' actions and beliefs remain quite consistent with the time period, and although the stories address some difficult and controversial subjects, they don't become sleazy or titillating.
Recommended for those who enjoy historical and Medieval mysteries.
