It's not a bad book and I don't regret the time spent reading it, but it's not in the first ranks of either historical or detective fiction. It's not Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose", which is set in a similar period. Bookbag doesn't recommend that you buy the book, but if you lack a better choice at the library and you have an interest in the Middle Ages then the book might be worth taking home with you.
