The 'detective' in these books set in the reign of Edward IV is Roger the Chapman. The mysteries are never too bloody, but are an interesting ramble through the society of the fifteenth century.
There are always loads of historical details, and the plots are always sufficiently tortuous to be enjoyable, but not confusing.
As a 'whodunnit' Kate Sedley's books always work very well. There are plenty of red herrings but I never guess the real villain until the last chapter.
My rating? 7/10
