Her speciality, however, is as a ‘doctor of the dead’ – in other words, she is skilled in performing autopsies and finding out the causes of death. Adelia is from Salerno, where women are allowed to attend medical school. Her name is Adelia Aguilar and she is a trained doctor, very rare in the year 1171. I knew nothing about this series but Mistress of the Art of Death appealed to me because of the medieval setting (I love books set in medieval England). This is my second book for the Great Transworld Crime Caper and is the first in a series of historical mysteries by the late Ariana Franklin.
