Mistress Of The Art Of Death by Ariana Franklin

Adelia Aguilar is a rare thing in medieval Europe, a woman who has trained as a doctor. Her speciality is the study of corpses, a skill that must be concealed if she is to avoid accusations of witchcraft. But in Cambridge a child has been murdered, others are disappearing, and King Henry has called upon an Italian investigator to find the killer.
