Blood Royal

Blood Royal: A True Tale of Crime and Detection in Medieval Paris by Eric Jager  323 pp.  

I purchased this Audible audiobook on sale and somewhat by accident. I totally thought I was getting a historical fiction book read by the late actor Rene Auberjonois who did such an excellent job narrating the Pendergast series. This is actually a factual account of the brutal and bloody murder of Louis I of Orleans, the brother of King Charles VI of France. It is also the story of Guillaume de Tignonville, the Provost of Paris, one of the first detectives, who discovers the conspiracy involved in the crime. It is a fascinating, if frustrating story.
