What other medieval book series is as epic and addicting as Follet’s Pillars of the Earth series? by hunter1899

sitnquiet on March 6, 2025 3:45 pm Not a series, but {{The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco}} is pretty great – and they did a strong film adaptation of it. Otherwise, I enjoyed the Matthew Bartholomew series, starting with {{A Plague on Both Your Houses by Susanna Gregory}}. Both are kind of medieval mysteries, solving crimes and the like.
