Kathryn Swinbrooke
Think back in time to the Wars of the Roses--York versus Lancaster. Many people are enamored by the clothing, food, art, architecture, and lifestyle of the era (including me). Author C. L. Grace captures this in her quartet of mysteries set in medieval Canterbury.
Kathryn Swinbrooke is a physician living with her former nurse Thomasina, maid Agnes, and a foundling boy named Wuf. There has been no word of her abusive husband for quite some time, and she aspires to open an apothecary. Of course, being the coroner's physician comes with a few extra duties--she's responsible for investigating mysterious deaths involving sorcerors who blackmail their clients, greedy tax collectors, and angry lovers.
