Order of Brother Athelstan Books

English author Paul Doherty's Sorrowful Mysteries of Brother Athelstan series features a Dominican friar who serves as both priest at St. Erconwald's and secretarius to Coroner Sir John Cranston. These historical mysteries unfold in late 14th-century London during Richard II's reign.

The books follow both their publication sequence and chronological story order, making them perfect for readers who enjoy following a series from beginning to end.
