An okay cozy mystery novel. I like these because the author is an academic medievalist and they give an insight into like in 12th century France.

I continue to enjoy this series. Catherine and Edgar are wonderful characters and 12th century France is a fascinating setting.
Catherine's love of her Jewish family endears her to me and this story features them even more prominently as Catherine and Edgar work to find a lost reliquary and solve a murder.

This series manages to combine real-feeling history with solid mysteries and some of my favorite characters in all fiction. Simply a winner.
