The Servant of the Crown Mystery series by Denise Domning features Sir Faucon de Ramis, newly appointed as the first coroner of Warwickshire in the year 1194. The series begins with Season of the Raven (2014), in which Faucon must investigate his first suspicious death while learning the boundaries and expectations of his new role.
The series has grown to five books, with Season of the Fox (2015), Lost Innocents (2016), The Final Toll (2018), and Caught Red-Handed (2019) each presenting a new murder for Faucon to solve. Domning’s background in medieval historical fiction gives these mysteries an unusually detailed sense of period, from the legal procedures surrounding coroner inquests to the class dynamics between peasants, tradesmen, and nobility. Readers who enjoy both mystery and well-researched historical settings will find this series a good match.
