This is a good historical mystery. I haven't read any of the other books in the series so it did take me a while to settle into the characters and story, but overall I enjoyed this book. It's well written with good characters and an engaging plot. If you enjoy historical mysteries then I would recommend checking this out.

I received a free EArc from Netgalley.

Devil's Wolf is an enjoyable jaunt through early fourteenth century England. I found it particularly enjoyable as its setting is very familiar to me.

While the beginning of the novel is somewhat repetitive, as Hugh tries to work out what's happening and tries to order his thoughts, the end of the novel is far more complex and reads more quickly.

The characterisations are good, and the author certainly doesn't shy away from killing off characters left, right and centre.

I credit this author with helping me learn to love reading again after a pretty rubbish time many years ago - his Egyptian books are wonderful - as such it's great to discover all these other books of his, of which I was unaware.
