The Thomas Berrington Tudor Mystery series transplants the physician-detective from Moorish Spain to Tudor England. Having left the Iberian Peninsula, Berrington finds himself in the court of Henry VII, where the political dangers are different but the need for someone who can investigate suspicious deaths remains.
The series builds on the character development from the main Berrington books while offering a fresh historical setting. Tudor England’s religious conflicts and political intrigues provide rich material for mystery plotting, and Berrington’s outsider status continues to work in his favor as an investigator.
