Booknblues | 12058 comments I have a particular love for medieval mysteries and one of my favorites are the Stephen Attebrook series by Jason Vail, which are set in 13th century, England. I almost always read them as soon as they come out and then eagerly await the next one. His latest, the 11th is Missing and it further extends Stephen's story.

With any series which one follows, the secondary characters become as important as the main characters and this series has some great ones, there is Gilbert who is an innkeeper who used to be a monk, until he fell under the spell of books and a woman; and Harry, a skilled wood carver who has had both his legs amputated and he is as cagey as they come.

One of the things with this series is that it is action packed and Missing continues the trend. Jason Vail is an expert of martial arts and one of the areas of his focus is historical European martial arts in particular use of broadsword and dagger, so when one reads his novels one can expect fairly detailed fight scenes.

If you are interested in this series, I suggest that you start with the first The Wayward Apprentice.
