A Play of Piety by Margaret Frazer

This mystery brings Joliffe back to his troupe, who are holed up at a medieval hospital while Basset recovers from an attack of arthritis. The novel portrays medieval medical care with great acumen. As these books tend to go, the mystery develops slowly. I was a little disappointed that the crowner does a fair amount of the legwork off screen. Still, an enjoyable book.
