review
kept me engaged from beginning to end. Great listen, narration and storyline. Just concentrated on the plot and not the politics of the time.

This is a great historical mystery
Kept me going right until the end - much better than many of the audiobooks I’ve paid for. It’s superb considering it’s free. Narrator is great and has a good range and the world building is also very good. Perfect at Christmas time.

Passed the time nicely
Not to taxing and a little to cosy for me. Interesting bits of history and it was in the Audible a plus catalog so what’s not to like. Well narrated.

A quite entertaining story beautifully narrated by Glen McCready.
Another worth while listen from Edward Marston.

A pleasant enough romp
Not earth shattering but happy enough to spend a few hours of an annoying convalescence listening to it. I think this was probably the second or third of this particular series that I’ve listened to and I will look out for another if I’m laid up again in the near future. Good narration though.

Great medieval yarn
A great story, set with a lot of historical fact intrigue and a very good plot I look forward to reading another in the series!

Excellent narration
I was very impressed with the narration, the narrator brought the story to life, imbuing it with emotions I don't think I would have felt if I was just reading the book. Good story, didn't waste time with "he said, she said" and the narrator was good at changing voices to suit the different characters. Very little description of attire, in fact I found myself drifting into other era's because of that and was only brought back to the era the book was set in by the author occasionally reminding me of the building going on after the great fire. There only appears to be one other audiobook in this series, I hope there will be more ...
