Susanna Gregory's Matthew Bartholomew series follows a physician and teacher at Michaelhouse in fourteenth-century Cambridge, where university rivalries and town disputes repeatedly lead to suspicious deaths. A Plague on Both Your Houses begins during the Black Death and establishes Bartholomew's medical outlook and his friendship with Brother Michael; later books continue with new cases and a large recurring academic community. Publication order is recommended because careers, friendships and institutional conflicts develop across the series. The novels combine medieval mystery with medicine, university politics and everyday life, using Bartholomew's willingness to examine bodies and question accepted explanations as a recurring investigative advantage.
