Summary
1603. Former ship's surgeon Gabriel Taverner is attempting to re-establish himself as a physician in rural Devon but it's not easy to gain the locals' trust and a series of disturbing incidents convinces him that at least one person does not welcome his presence.
Called out to examine a partially decomposed body found beside the river, Gabriel discovers he has a personal connection to the dead man. Teaming up with coroner Theophilus Davey to find out how the man died, Gabriel uncovers some darker aspects of the lucrative silk trade which operates from nearby Plymouth. It soon becomes frighteningly apparent that the people closest to him have been keeping dangerous secrets.

Very good
I usually prefer Victorian or Regency Period for Murder Mystery and this was the first time I ventured much further into the past.
I really enjoyed it! The book felt authentic and taught me a lot about that period as well as having a good murder plot!
The narration was superb and bought every character to life.
About to start the next one and hopefully it will be as good as the first.

Very good until.......
Enjoyed the book until the final chapter. It then became very graphic listening that I rally didn't enjoy. Not sure if I shall read the next in the series. If the graphic passages had been earlier in the book I might not have continued listening.

I couldn't hear it.
This may or may not be a good book, but the sound ranged from almost audible to mumbling within the same sentence despite my increasing the volume.
A waste of a credit.
