The Butcher of Smithfield by Susanna Gregory
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1663 Thomas Chaloner has returned to England but his paymaster the Earl of Clarendon has a job for him. To investigate the death of newsbook minion and solicitor Thomas Newburne, presumed dead by eating cucumbers. Soon Chaloner uncovers more deaths but what is the motive, by what means and who is behind the deaths.
An entertaining historical mystery.
