Great debut..
Set in the age where medicine was part religion and part butchery. Nicholas Skelton is obviously going to be a more diligent and inquisitive physician, with the support of his wife - provided she survives childbirth.
The cover sets the period and is reminiscent of the covers of Andrew Taylor's books.
I found this book as well written and easy to read as historical novels by Edward Marston and C J Sansom.
