by Ariana Franklin. In 12th-century England, a fire at Glastonbury Abbey—one of England's holiest sites—uncovers an ancient box containing the skeletons of a man and a woman. King Henry II calls on his "mistress of the Art of Death," Adelia Aguilar, to identify the bones. The devastated community of Glastonbury, as well as King Henry, would like them to be Arthur and Guinevere. Adelia enlists her regular cadre of companions (Mansur, Gyltha, and daughter Allie) to help her investigate. Highly recommended for all mystery collections. —Library Journal (Check Catalog)
