Grave Goods

Grave Goods by Ariana Franklin  336 pp

This is book three in the "Mistress of the Art of Death" series. This time Dr. Vesuvia Adelia Rachel Ortese Aguilar is forceably summoned by Henry II and ordered to investigate two corpses buried on the grounds of the recently burned Glastonbury Abbey. Henry is hoping she can prove they belong to King Arthur and Guinevere to prove to the Welsh that Arthur is truly dead and will not return as the legend says and thus quell the rebellion. While Adelia and her servent, Mansur, investigate the goings on at Glastonbury, they are also searching for the missing Lady Emma who disappeared with her entourage while on her way to her husband's family estate. This is a series I really enjoy and book four awaits.
