A Morbid Taste for Bones

I wanted to like this one because my brother likes it (even if he hadn't read it since he was a child) but... slow and hard to care for the characters and there's a line towards the end, a woman wrote this? Different times I guess but what the heck. I do like the idea of medieval mystery so might give another book a try to see if they get better and keep my eye out for other mysteries set in this era.
