But when people in the wedding procession are murdered, Adelia and Rowley must discover the killer's identity . . . and whether he is stalking the princess or Adelia herself.

Review of 'A Murderous Procession' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Was another entertaining read within this series. This time our protagonist is part of a traveling group accompanying the daughter of Henry II to Sicily from England. However, someone in the entourage is Scarry from the previous book, out to avenge his lover.

Good, solid entertainment, if you like murder mysteries in the middle ages. A bit anachronistic at times, but within reason. The only thing I didn't care for was the cliffhanger at the end.
