The first story is His Master's Servant by Philip Boast. This is a story set during the Crusades. Saladin himself sends for the Knight Templar Sir Roger de Belcourt to come to Jerusalem to solve a murder and theft, supposedly perpetrated by a Christian Jew. This was barely a mystery. Sir Roger finds the right person to talk to and he reveals all. A slow start to the book but I'm hoping for more out of some of the other 25 stories.

I might read one more story before bed but I won't write about it until the morning.
