An Unholy Alliance by Susanna Gregory

An Unholy Alliance (New York:  St. Martin’s Press, 1996) is Susanna Gregory‘s first chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew, a physician teaching and healing–and solving murders–in 1350 Cambridge, England.  I actually like An Unholy Alliance better than A Conspiracy of Violence, Gregory’s first Thomas Chaloner novel.

Other novels about Matthew Bartholomew include

• A Bone of Contention
• A Plague on Both Your Houses
• A Deadly Brew
• A Wicked Deed
• A Masterly Murder
• An Order for Death
• A Summer of Discontent
• A Killer in Winter
• The Hand of Justice
• The Marker of a Murder
• The Tarnished Chalice
• To Kill or Cure
• The Devil’s Disciples
• A Vein of Deceit
• The Killer of Pilgrims
• Mystery in the Minster
• Murder by the Book

I had trouble figuring out which of the books was first in the series, but An Unholy Alliance is clearly labeled as “The first chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew.”
