very intricate plot

Allmost too intricate. The byzantine life of Nicolas de st Paul continues taking in Europe, North Africa and the Middle Sea Islands. The narration is superb.

Wonderful

I never tire of the Nicolo series. They are exciting, with vivid characters and a cinematographic quality. She writes for all the senses. The reading is magnificent - so many voices, each distinct; and the perfect match of under-emphasis with correct breathing.

Wonderful

Terrific continuation of this complex and gripping story of the 15th century. There is no one like this author.

Excellent Reading of a Favourite Book

I am a big Dorothy Dunnett fan. Thais reading is well paced and adds to the understanding of the complex plots and characters. Will listen again when I have reached the end of the series.
