Review: Interesting concept

This is another series of books for the Kindle that I bought on sale for 99 cents each. I can't say that you learn a lot about medieval England from this book, but the concept of a former knight now filing the role of coroner/forensic pathologist (well, as close as you might get to that role in that time period) in a small town is an interesting one. The language is completely modern, but again, I'm OK with that. Just know it going in. The story is pretty interesting, as are the characters, and it's another easy read for those nights when you're really tired and your mind just wants some readable brain candy. I like the main character, Stephen Attebrook, and his company of friends and acquaintances. I'm in the middle of the second book in the series, Baynard's List, and I'm enjoying it as well. I wish it had a little more about what life was like in medieval England, since it's a period of time that I'm very interested in. It's not world class literature, but it's fun to read.
