by Kathy Lynn Emerson

Cover of Murders and other confusions

In these eleven stories (five of which are previously unpublished), Susanna investigates a body found in a dovecote, death by Devil's Turnips, the woman whose babies always died by being "overlaid," the use of a Neck Verse to save a condemned prisoner's life, the mysterious tavern sign of a woolsack, and other cases full of the color and danger of the 16th century.
