I have always been compelled to read medieval mysteries in the summer. Probably just sheer escapism on my part, but I plan to indulge myself this summer by catching up on my favorites. At the top of my list are the last two books in Michael Jecks' Knights Templar series, The Bishop Must Die and The Oath. The 30th book in this series, King's Gold, is due out in August. This series was recommended to me this past Christmas by a friend and retired librarian, and I am happy to pass on the recommendation.I'd also recommend Susanna Gregory's Matthew Bartholomew series set in 14th century Cambridge, Sharan Newman's Catherine LeVendeur series set in 12th century France, and the Dame Frevisse series by Margaret Frazer set in 15th century Oxfordshire, England.
There are many more outstanding medieval mystery series and standalone novels. What are some of your picks?
