The Library Journal stars have come out for November, and they've risen over Patricia Cornwell's 22nd Kay Scarpetta novel Flesh and Blood and Thomas Asbridge's The Greatest Knight, a biography of historical knight extraordinaire William Marshall—servant to Henry II, Richard the Lionheart, and King John.
Praise for Flesh and Blood (starred review): "The ending is unseen and unexpected—and terrifying….Scarpetta fans will relish this nail-biting novel."
Praise for The Greatest Knight (starred review): "On one level, this is the story of how a second son with few prospects rose to the pinnacle of chivalry, later becoming the most powerful man in England. 
It is also a story about how medieval knighthood worked; the interlocking web of obligation and fealty, friendship and loyalty that created the fairy-tale world of Arthur and Lancelot."
Make sure you grab the November 15th issue of Library Journal to read the full reviews for these and tons of other great upcoming titles. And definitely don't miss when Flesh and Blood and The Greatest Knight go on sale on November 11 and December 2, respectively.
