"Samantha Norman, completes Ariana Franklin's superb Mistress of the Art of Death medieval mystery series with an appropriate homage, a story featuring mother-and-daughter sleuthsThe forensic procedures are appropriately grotesque (leeches, anyone?), and the period settings run to luscious details, like “a perfect pastry sculpture of the baby Jesus” at a sumptuous Christmas banquet. Don’t be distracted from Norman’s true theme; namely, the crushingly limited life choices for women — even the most highborn women — of this period." — Marilyn Stasio, New York Times “Medieval-mystery writing at its best.” — New York Daily News “An exhilarating whodunit and my favorite book of the year.” — Tess Gerritsen on A Murderous Procession “An impeccably researched tapestry of murder most foul.” — Entertainment Weekly on The Serpent’s Tale “This thoroughly captivating tale was begun by celebrated historical novelist Franklin, who died before its completion, and completed seamlessly by her journalist daughter, Norman.” — Kirkus Reviews on The Siege Winter
