Candace Robb writes historical mysteries set in late medieval Britain, particularly the Owen Archer series. Beginning with The Apothecary Rose, the books follow Owen, a former soldier with damaged sight who becomes an investigator in fourteenth-century York. Cases involve merchants, churchmen, political factions and tensions surrounding figures such as John Thoresby and the English crown. Robb also writes the Kate Clifford mysteries, centred on a widowed businesswoman in York during the period of Richard II. Her books are detailed, character-led and rooted in urban medieval life. The strongest audience overlap is with historical crime, medieval York and series by Susanna Gregory or Michael Jecks. Read more Less
