Welcome to Medieval Spain
Rebecca DeToledo Historical Mysteries
Toledo, 1193: where scholars, crusader knights and royal spies live, scheme, and occasionally turn up dead.
The stories follow Jewish healer-turned-sleuth, Rebecca, and her partner, English crusader-turned-bodyguard, John of Hampstead. The unlikely pair unravel royal secrets and murders in 12th-century Spain. Richly researched and full of intrigue, these historical whodunits bring medieval Toledo to life.

A little about me:
I’m captivated by 12th-century Spain, where Christian, Jewish, and Muslim cultures converged and created something extraordinary. Each book includes a glossary of people, customs, and terms to illuminate the world behind the mystery.
When I'm not writing, I'm testing medieval herbal remedies or walking my grand-dog, Laurie.

.
Wow. A gripping read from the first page. The Middle Ages are one of my favorite historical period and I love books set in that ages ever since I read Robin Hood when I was in first or second grade. Death at the School of Translators didn't disappoint!
