I could not wait for a Fall release of this title, so paid the postage to receive it early. It was worth the additional cost!. GREAT MEDIEVAL MYSTERY! THE FIRST MURDER is an intelligent, well-written medieval mystery that spans centuries and engages the reader immediately. Devoid of plethora of typos and formatting errors that plague so many Kindle books, reading THE FIRST MURDER on Kindle was a pleasure. The Medieval Murderers have become a favorite; I'm on my 3rd book of theirs, having read this one first. If you love historical novels with great story lines and wonderful characters, check this one out!
