About this listen
When the novice Emma Thorgold goes missing from Godstow Abbey in the summer of 1353, the hunt is on throughout the Oxfordshire countryside. Bookseller Nicholas Elyot and scholar Jordain Brinkylsworth are anxious to help the girl, but her stepfather has other intentions. Why is he so determined to shut her away for life? Or worse? And will she be found unharmed?

Good
The 2nd book of this series does not disappoint. It is the same easy listening as the 1st book, and not taxing on the brain, but thoroughly enjoyable. I shall now download the 3rd book.

Comfortable and gentle tale
You know that things will work out well ok the end. Good characterisations and a sense of comfortable community here. If you are looking for a gentle story and interfering historical references this is it

Absorbing plot set in a brilliantly explained Medieval time.
I enjoy Anne Swinfen’s style evoking Medieval speech. I am getting used to Philip Battley’s restrained reading performance in this second book of the series. NH

enjoyable
i like these tales.. will they tax your mind? will they send you off wringing your hands and pondering the meaning off it all? NO what they will do is whisk you off to anither time and place and tell a pleasant story in a pleasent way. If you like you novels light and enjoyable then go for it.

Attention to detail first rate
These Tales are fascinating, in that they really show extensive, authentic detail of the medieval era. Added to that, the mystery part is easy going (not 15 murders per book like a Paul Doherty). A really enjoyable listen.
