Police procedural murder mystery in current day alt-hist Britain where the Norman conquest never happened. Loved it, although I suspect I missed a lot of historical nuance. Aedith is a terrific strong female character, the kind that men don't often write. Her strength is as much brains and emotional intelligence as force, and also I don't know what she looks like; there was no emphasis on her physical appearance at all (I do skim description so I might have missed it, but I suspect it just wasn't there). And Drustan is a lovely surprise, never doing what I expected and with hidden depths. Something of a cliff hanger ending though.
