I've really enjoyed the Justin de Quincy series. The author,Sharon Kay Penman, mentions that there will be at least one more book in the series, but it appears that this is the last one for now. The story is compelling and the historical backdrop is fascinating. Some of the language was a bit distracting, like when she mixes present day language and idioms with that of old (ie, arse-licking), but overall, it was a very good story.
