Adelia Aguilar is a "Mistress of the Art of Death" (modernly called a pathologist) who helps solve murders for King Henry II. At Henry's request (order) Ariana is to accompany his 10 year old daughter to Sicily where she is to wed William II. As the trip progresses people begin to die. Is the princess the intended victim, or is it someone else? Adelia is accompanied by her Arab friend Mansur and the grandson of a good friend, Ulf plus an interesting Irish sea captain; but unbeknownst to Adelia and the others there is another traveller in the group bent on revenge!
An enjoyable read.
Unfortunately the author died in January of 2011 and this is the last book in the series of "A Mistress of the Art of Death".
