![]() ![]() Since I enjoyed The Service of the Dead, I was pretty sure that I was going to enjoy The Apothecary Rose. Taking the disguise of an apprentice, Owen starts to look into the murders and finds that his initial suspicions may not have been correct. ![]() As his first task, Owen is to investigate the death of Thoresby’s ward, who died of poisoning in York. Sadly, his master the Duke dies after a few months and Owen goes into the service of the Archbishop of York and Lord Chancellor of England, John Thoresby. ![]() When he loses his eye, his master offers to turn him into a spy. Owen Archer, the protagonist of The Apothecary Rose, was the Master of Archers. Like The Service of the Dead, The Apothecary Rose takes place in York, albeit much earlier (the 14th century, to be precise). So I decided to continue, but since the second book was unavailable, I decided to read The Apothecary Rose, which is the first book in the Owen Archer series and also by Candace Robb. Some time back, I read The Service of the Dead and really enjoyed it. ![]()
