15% done with A Morbid Taste for Bones

I thought a 12th century monastic murder mystery (not named In The Name of the Rose) would be something fun. I kinda like it so far, but I’m not sold on the characters – everyone is a bit thin, however, this is a mystery novel and I’m really just more interested in plot and setting. I do wish the writing was a bit … better. Not that it’s bad, it’s just doesn’t really bring the world alive.
