Sharan Newman writes historical mysteries and medieval fiction, best known for the Catherine LeVendeur series set in twelfth-century France. Death Comes as Epiphany introduces Catherine as a former convent scholar sent to investigate a manuscript that may contain dangerous heresy, drawing her into murder, theology and family complications. The Devil's Door and The Wandering Arm continue through Paris, monasteries and pilgrimage routes, with Jewish-Christian relations, church politics and medieval scholarship recurring across the series. Newman also writes non-fiction on medieval history and religious myths. Her prose is detailed but accessible, with mystery plots anchored in daily life, belief and legal custom. Her work fits medieval mystery, historical crime and church-history fiction, particularly for readers of Ellis Peters and Margaret Frazer. Read more Less
