Odo reads this!

Blood Royal: A True Tale of Crime and Detection in Medieval Paris - Eric Jager

Wow, those French royals were just as messed up as those Brits!

                Engrossing book at a murder of a French royal and it’s aftermath.  It does effect England because of it occurs during the 100 Years War.

                Jager’s writing is great and hearing Odo read it is wonderful.  Nice use of connections and links to fallout.  Jager doesn’t just focus on the immediate issues but also the influence on the acceptable of Joan of Arc.

                Jager makes good use of source material, and in many ways this reads as if you are watching a movie.

                Be warned some of the descriptions are rather graphic.
