The King's Justice by E.M. Powell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In 1176 England Aelred Barling is a clerk in the halls of justice of the reign of Henry II. When he is sent with messenger Hugo Stanton to investigate the death of a smith in the village of Claresham. Unfortunately for them this will not be the last death. Both Barling and Stanton seem to have secrets, and look to be incompatible in their nature, but they must work together.
An enjoyable mystery with some interesting characters. So a good solid start to a new series.
Re-read the book and still enjoyed the story
