Ariana Franklin's Mistress of the Art of Death series follows Adelia Aguilar, a medically trained woman from Salerno who is sent to twelfth-century England to investigate suspicious deaths. Mistress of the Art of Death introduces Adelia during a case involving murdered children in Cambridge, and The Serpent's Tale, Grave Goods and A Murderous Procession continue her work under the rule of Henry II. The books should be read in publication order because Adelia's relationships and political obligations carry forward. They combine historical crime with early forensic reasoning and medicine, while Adelia's unusual professional role repeatedly clashes with the expectations placed on women in medieval society.
