Servant of the Crown Mysteries, 3 Book Box Set
A 3-book box set containing "Season of the Raven", "Season of the Fox, and "Lost Innocents"
SEASON OF THE RAVEN
A Miller Found Under His Wheel
It’s 1194 and Sir Faucon de Ramis, the shire’s newly appointed Keeper of the Pleas, must do his duty and make an official declaration of the cause of a miller’s death. Saddled with a clerk who names Faucon his ‘penance', the shire’s first Crowner must thread the tangled relationships between the sheriff, the village of Priors Holston and the priory that once ruled it. As a simple task takes a turn to the political, what seems obvious isn’t and what appears safe turns out to be more dangerous than he could imagine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEASON OF THE FOX
Raise the Hue and Cry!
A wealthy merchant has been murdered in his own home, and the suspect has fled to sanctuary in a local church. Enter Sir Faucon de Ramis, the king’s new Servant of the Crown in the shire, to solve the murder, assisted by his prickly secretary, Brother Edmund.
As Faucon begins his hunt, the shire’s new Crowner finds himself in the upside-down world of a woman’s trade. Not only does the merchant’s wife own the business—unheard of!—the suspect is the daughter’s betrothed, or so the town believes. But what about the bloody shoe prints and missing tally sticks, and what does the sheriff have to gain?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOST INNOCENTS
Into The Woods
A leper’s daughter is found in the well of a dying hamlet and the only suspect has fled into Feckenham Forest. But the sun is setting and Warwickshire’s sheriff is hunting his shire's new Crowner. That sends Sir Faucon de Ramis and Brother Edmund, his prickly clerk, racing for a nearby abbey only to meet the man he least wishes to see at the abbey gates. Before long, Faucon finds himself riding into the dark at Sir Alain's side as they hunt for yet another lost innocent.

About the author
Denise Domning
48 books268 followersWhat can I say? I’m single and over sixty, I write and I farm on eight acres of slowly improving red earth (it originally looked like Mars had exploded!) on Oak Creek in northern Arizona. I started with chickens, then there were turkeys and Jersey milk cows. But with livestock came the predators: coyotes, bald eagles, black hawks, mountain lions, and, worst of all, raccoons. Dang those nasty creatures! They kill just because they can; think dogs with opposable thumbs. (Five chickens in one night–they reached in through the chain link and killed the birds with no expectation of being able to eat them.) They are the reason I keep livestock guardian dogs. There's the massive Polar Bear, a 135 pound Hungarian Kuvasz, Radha, the svelte and sleek 90 pound Anatolian Shepherd and her new chew toy, Rupert who is some sort of terrier mix and small enough to walk under her belly.
As for what my dogs guard, it's my growing herd of Dorper Sheep, a South African breed that (supposedly) doesn’t need to be sheared and gains all their weight on grass alone. I've also fallen in love with pigs, which are just dogs with snouts. Oh, how those rapscallions make me laugh!

Great new series
If you love Brother Cadfael mysteries (the language, the times, the smart sleuth) you will enjoy reading this author. Faucon, our young knight, has an arrogant monk scribe which brings humor to these murder mysteries. Last minute solutions surprised me, well written!

Mystery medieval style is CSI without fingerprints and DNA. I very much enjoyed the intrigue. I look forward to reading more of the adventures of Faucon, Edmund, and Alf.

Good medieval mystery series
This mystery series is set in late 12th century England. I enjoyed it very much. The author did a good job of evoking the atmosphere of the era and incorporating historical data without info dumping. The main character is a second son of the lower nobility who originally was meant for the Church, but after his elder brother sustained an injury that left him mentally impaired, Faucon de Ramis became a knight.
He is appointed as Coronarius soon after the institution of that office that would soon be called Crowner, then further evolve to Coroner. The backstory of this office is given in the story and is quite interesting.
The mysteries in this 3-Book were well done. There is an additional mystery involving a serial killer that weaves through all three books and remains unsolved, apparently to be completed in the 4th book.
I’ll definitely be reading the 4th book; I’ll also be looking for other books by this author.

Brother Edmund does grow on you the more you read this story.
I have to confess I was unable to guess the ending of this one - well done, author!
I learned a lot about commerce and trade in this era...

This boxset (books 1 to 3) follows the story of Sir Faucon de Ramis, the younger son of a minor noble who takes on the role of coronarius (coroner) or crowner to investigate any deaths or unlawful activities in the county of Warwickshire, England, in 1194, and to demand the requisite fines or imprisonment. He is assigned Brother Edmund to assist him in this, but Brother Edmund, who knows the law very well and applies it very precisely in every situation, along with any other rules he might know, is arrogant and brutally honest, sometimes creating problems for Sir Faucon. To top it all, the very man who should be supporting him in his pursuit of justice is the sheriff, Sir Alain.
As Sir Faucon begins to gather information and pieces the situations together, he begins to realise that this is just another type of hunting, and one which is just as worthy and exciting as the noble hunts practised in his father’s house. And through all the books a number of threads are laid where young women are singled out for murder by a serial killer. Hints are dropped for a storyline which will be picked up in a later book. I haven’t read books 4 and 5 yet, but am very much looking forward to doing so.
I loved this set of books. Not only are the stories well written, but the procedures of uncovering the crimes and the perpetrator are well detailed. The characters are fascinating, and one of the things I loved was Ms Domning’s inclusion of characters who are, from her descriptions, either differently abled or neuro-atypical. Although no labels are applied (no anachronisms that I could see), one character would not be out of place with a diagnosis of Asperger’s, and her description of the actions of another character made me think of people I knew who had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. To see these people portrayed honestly and sympathetically in situations that might have happened made me very happy – it felt right to be able to see people of all types living their lives in whatever milieu.
What also caught my attention was Ms Domning’s focus on the role of crowner. I was very excited because I had come across this role before in another series of books by Bernard Knight in his “Crowner John Mysteries”, although Mr Knight’s character is based in Exeter and deals with crimes around the county of Devon, England.

This is a three-books-in-one book, mysteries set in medieval England. Sir Faicon is appointed to the new position of Keeper of the Pleas for a shire, a position to increase taxes to fund King Richard’s many wars on the continent by assessing fines on evil-doers in the county. Sir Faucon is appointed a curmudgeonly monk, Edmund, to keep the records of the various inquests, juries, etc. The three mysteries were all really complicated and I never figured out the culprit ahead of time — a real plus for me in mysteries. The give-and-take between Sir Faucon and his OCD (prob actually Asperger’s Syndrome) assistant makes for
Good fun as they develop a working relationship. All the characters are sensitively drawn and not stereotypical, and the descriptions of medieval small-town life are vivid. I’m glad I read the three books as a set, as you really do have to have read the earlier ones to stay caught up w/ the intricate plots.
In Book #1, “Season of the Raven,” Sir Faucon gets appointed to his position and his first case is to solve the death of a town’s Miller. Did he fall under the mill wheel b/c he was drunk or b/c he was murdered and then placed there.? The earliest forensic scientist, another monk, teaches Faucon how to tell the difference.
In Book #2, “Season of the Fox,” — my fave of the three — Sir Faucon and Brother Edmund have to figure out who actually murdered the master of the town’s ribbon weavers: was it the young man whom everyone has accused and is hiding in the church for sanctuary? Or is the mystery actually who runs the place? Lots of examination of the powerless position of women at the time.
In Book #3, “Lost Innocents,” ( I really like the play on words in this title!) a young girl is found in the town well. Did she drown herself, or was she murdered by her best friend and then thrown in the well? This plot was pretty complicated, but I appreciate the sensitivity shown by our hero to people w/ disabilities in this book. I don’t know if it would have been realistic for the era, but there was a frank discussion about how the ill and disabled children were treated in the twelfth century.
If you want your mysteries wrapped in colorfully drawn historical fiction, I recommend this series. I will look for more mysteries from this author.

This series of three mysteries takes place in England during the reign of Richard II. Sir Faucon, nicknamed Peri, short for Peregrine, as his last name is French for falcon is the central character and hero. At this time the ruling class, Norman French, still spoke French, and only "common" people spoke English. Sir Faucon has just been appointed corinorinos, or as many people call him "Crowner." His job, formerly held by the sheriff, is to determine cause of death as well as whether the deceased is English or noble. Fees are levied and paid to the king based upon his findings.
The author's knowledge of the period - details of clothing, relations between commons and nobles, crafts, the roads between villages and towns, manners and many other detail of life make me believe she is an historian. Ma. Domning is able to accurately express the prejudices both nobles and commons have towards each other.
I thoroughly enjoyed Faucon's endeavors to solve each death, the problems caused by the monk assigned to him as his scribe, and the threats to him by the sheriff who has lost income because Faucon has been assigned to do what was previously his job and, as he wasn't terribly honest, cost the sheriff quite a bit of money.
Because of the many words no longer in common use, it took me longer than usual to read these books. I spent a lot of time with the dictionary on my kindle! It was only after I finished all three books that I discovered the author had included a glossary after the third book. I hope knowing this helps you enjoy these stories even more than I did.

I read the first book in the series; not sure if I can be bothered to read on, though there is a 'hook' clearly intended to draw the reader on. I was disappointed, as a friend had rated the series quite well, but I don't think it helps to live in Warwickshire while reading a book set there by somebody without as much knowledge of the area and period as she suggests. One can accept a few details only the picky would point out - the invented 'city' of Stanrudde, the 'small' town of four hundred dwellings (at a time when even Stratford-on-Avon was far smaller), a wrench that floats (the word is not British, but I've never encountered a wrench or spanner not made of metal), but the quality of the writing jars constantly. An uncle is constantly 'auspicious' (I think she means 'eminent'), while a knight is astonished and surprised a peasant recognises him. Various characters attract the same epithets routinely, clothing is described anachronistically, and the whole 'feel' is a sort of 'Mediaeval-lite', wearing a small amount of research very heavily.
The central story is engaging enough, though the knight seems to adopt a Sherlock persona very swiftly and reaches an accord with an 'impossible' companion within much less than a week. Every except the villains is friendly and eager to help, and the language barrier comes and goes according to plot needs rather than any logic.

I enjoyed these three books because of the period and the job of the main character. It was great because it showed the character learning the position plus the new clerk who was a great addition to the series. I like the way the Crowner also puts his ideas together in his mind to come up with the solutions to the crimes he has been given to solve. The Sherif and his soldiers is a great way to put the story in an always wondering if he will come. When it comes to the mystery killer and the way the book starts out not telling anything about him and reading his thoughts and prayers is a great addition that puts the whole series into another mystery in itself.
It is wonderfully thought out and a joy to read.

I liked this set of stories
I felt that I was really witnessing lives in 1154, especially lives of other-than-royalty. These are stories of peasants and "second sons", those who don't inherit land. I'm very interested in two genrae of writing here: detective and historical fiction. Many people think historical fiction means romance exclusively, preferably with heroes and heaving bosoms. I was delighted to find no "love interest" at all. Behind the mysteries is a nice development of relationship and respect between two very different men as they learn their new profession. I plan to read more by this author.

Worthy of reading aloud
I found myself reading snippets of all three stories to my ever-patient husband as I found bits of history or humor to share. I totally enjoyed the developing relationship between the "Crowner" and his scribe. Their relationship seems much like a couple of people I know. I also like the 12th century forensics, developing a sustainable case with the "spoor" presented as in a hunt with Sir Crowner reading all the signs to get the "prey".

Loved these stories although I was a bit put off by the fact that each book led into the next book making me think that if you just had the one story you could be left hanging when the story came to an end. Nevertheless, I did enjoy each and every story and the use of the old English words did not detract from the story but rather the meaning of each word of phrase was just about explained by the circumstances surrounding the word/s. I look forward to the next book in the series.
May 21, 2019
While I liked (no, loved actually) all the history, I found it really hard to get into this story. I only finished the first book of the 3 but when the big reveal happened I was suprised - it came out of nowhere. And there weren't any clues along the way that I could have picked up myself. Maybe it's just that I like the style of writing where the author drops little clues and the reader can start to get an idea about who could have done it.

This is a great series by an author who really knows her history and these are loaded with history! There is a ton of history and he's, sometimes it pws down the narrative but it is so very interesting and paints such a vivid picture of the times that it's worth the extra time it takes in reading these tales of murder in King Richard's medieval England. Great characters and plots and while very dense, well worth the read.

A for Effort
The three books together are a heroic effort to indulge in research of medieval living arrangements. The author does provide some humorous interactions between the two main characters. I withheld the fifth star because of the tedious way of leaving a vague and unresolved murder throughout. I hate when a writers use that ploy.

A Medieval Sherlock Holmes
Wow! One gets thoroughly caught up in trying to figure out each mystery along with the main character, Faucon, in each of these marvelous tales. Intrigue and touches of humor as Faucon deals with he clerk Edmund keeps the reader highly engaged. Couldn't put it down.

Every one needs a few "comfort reads". This series and the books to follow have become one of mine. I enjoyed the stories, the strong characters and the feeling that I had "lived" in the 12th Century English countryside. It is my hope that Denise Domning will continue the Servant of the Crown series for a good long while. I will always need some "comfort" books to read!

The Crowner
I really enjoyed this set of books. I like historical fiction and these books are fine examples of the genre. I quickly came to care about the characters and felt involved in the situation. Ms Domning is a good story teller. If you like historical mysteries this set is just what you want.

Great mysteries
This was an adventure of Sir Faucon as he solved the murders of people in his shire. There were some things left undone, like who killed the young girls along the way. I imagine that will be solved later. It is just a thread running through the different books, not the main murders. Very interesting

Very good! Easy writing style, coupled to a dry wit makes this a series of books I enjoyed and looking forward to future adventures of the first of England's coroners with his intriguing clerk, and his man of arms.

If you love medieval you will love these three books
Ms Domning weaves a lovely mystery, while staying true to all thins medieval. You may have to look up some words, but the stories are sooo very good. Hurrah for a new found mystery writer in my favorite time period

Well written
I found these books very well-written and nicely steeped in atmosphere and history. The protagonist is relatable and sympathetic with an interesting back story. I look forward to more of these characters and their world...please?

Faucon, or Sir Crowner, given to title to seek out payment to the king for murders, rape, etc. Assisted by Edmund a monk who is to become his clerk. Along the way they solve a series of crimes that the sheriff of the shire would probably just pass over.

Five stars for keeping me reading
At first I intended to give a lesser rating but I became so caught up in the story, I realized that it was very well written. My complaint was that the details got too lengthy, descriptions went on too long.

Really enjoyed this set of books and hope the story of Faucon continues. If I have any negative comments about the books they are that I felt the story jumped around quite a bit and was long drawn out. But enjoyed the narrative very much. More books please

An enjoyable medieval who done it
Liked this series a lot well written has 6975468 g to work out you did the deed. A little reminiscent of Ellis Peters books but told from a different angle. Well researched

Solid simple read. A glimpse into the lives and customs of medieval England with growing characters to boot. An easy way to learn of customs and habits of long ago nd realize their effect still today.

Heavy Going
I found these three books pretty hard going. The style and content leave much to be desired, I wished I’d followed my heart and stopped reading them when it became apparent how poor they were: couldn’t wait to finish them.

Fascinating look at the history of position of Coroner. Looking forward to more. Great light reading. Hopefully, series will continue.
