Die Geschichte einer Frau, die im 12. Jahrhundert als Ärztin tätig ist.

Viel Spannung in einer exzellent recherchierten Geschichte. Die Charaktere sind überzeugend dargestellt und der Spannungsbogen ist komplex.

This is an awesome series!!!

The Ariana Franklin _Mistress of the Art of Death_ series is just outstanding. This one switched narrators on me, but once I got used to the new voice, I liked her just as well.

EXCELLENT UNEXPECTED CONCLUSION TO THE SERIES

Though we will have no more tales from this amazingly talented author for her having passed, the unforeseen conclusion to this series could not be more fulfilling. Such a loss for her family—and readers. Much gratitude for many hours of beautiful escape amid the medieval years.

The end of a fantastic series?

I loved all four of the "Mistress of the Art of Death" books and really can't say enough wonderful things about them all. This one was different, as others have stated, and I felt a little thrown off by the change. As for the comments on Adelia's change in focus, I felt like she had decided that she wanted her life to take a different turn than she had been following.

But these books are what I think of as "re-reads" and I'll probably listen to all of them many more times.

Unfortunately, Ariana Franklin (Diana Norman) passed away in January 2011, which makes this book even more poignant. I don't cry over books, but I have to say the end of this one really broke my heart in more ways than one.

Such a great story

But such a poor narration. After Rosalyn Landor and Kate Reading, to have Jill Tanner is a bit of an insult. Ms. Tanner is as dreadful as some but it is too bad to not have a better performance. A terrific story.
