After a series of mysterious and unnatural deaths, and amid angry rumblings about witchcraft and sorcery, the physician Isaac tries to figure out what malice is at play in late fourteenth-century Girona. Pleasantly readable, if neither deep nor wildly compelling—in days gone by, I would have said this series would make for an excellent read on a plane. Remember travel?
