Wine of ViolenceWine of Violence by Priscilla Royal.
Available as a trade paperback and in large print.

"Medieval mysteries are many; some are spellbinding; few are as thoroughly researched . . . or as theologically and philosophically intriguing as Priscilla Royal's first novel . . . some books evoke discussion, some create delight in rereading, some inspire a search for further knowledge. Wine of Violence does it all."

Favas Can be Fatal by Priscilla Royal.

Favas Can Be Fatal: A Novel (Priscilla's First Book)

Alice McDoughall has absolutely no interest in sleuthing, and thinks amateur detectives are a silly bunch, so imagine her shock when she comes to the defense of her best friend, whose restaurant is threatened when obnoxious food critic Arthur Peters drops dead while dining in her establishment, and uncovers a murder, and a whole host of suspects. A deliciously enjoyable whodunit featuring a memorable cast of characters and one of the most surprising murder weapons in mystery history!
