About this listen

August 1144. Osbern de Lench is known far and wide as a hard master whose temper is perpetually frayed. After his daily ride to survey his land, his horse returns to the hall riderless, and the lifeless body of the lord is found soon after.

Was it the work of thieves or something closer to home? With an heir who is cast in the same hot-tempered mould, sworn enemies for neighbours and something amiss in the relationship between Osbern and his wife, Undersheriff Hugh Bradecote, the wily Serjeant Catchpoll and apprentice Walkelin have suspects aplenty.

Matt Addis does a really great job of narrating these books. He alone makes listen really worthwhile. In this outing, Undersheriff Bradecote and Sergeant Catchpoll must solve the death of Osbern de Lench, a hard master with a permanent bad temper. Because of this, there are any number of suspects, including his wife and his equally bad-tempered son. Can Bradecote and Catchpoll, along with Wakelin, sift the clues and find the culprit? Of course they can, and it makes of great listening.

Audiobook, read by Matt Addis.
August 1144, harvest time. Osbern de Lench is murdered and his heir, made in the samee hard-tempered mould as his dead father, wants to hang his younger half-brother for it. Undersherriff Hugh Bradecote, Sergeant Catchpoll and apprentice Walkelin have a few suspects, but nobody obvious, though there's something not quite right between the murdered lord and his meek widow.

This is my second Bradecote and Catchpoll audiobook - consumed out of order. I like the reader. who voices the individuals convincingly, especially the Worcestershire accent of Catchpoll.

Good

I have all the audio books to date, and I saved this one until after Christmas because I wanted to listen to every word. Narration just perfect, always convincing. Start a typing Sarah, I’m ready when you are.

Excellent as always.

An interesting plot, with plenty of twists, engaging characters and a good dollop of historical research stirred in. This is perfect for lovers of gentle, medieval mysteries. Matt Addis’s narration brings it all to life with his enchanting voice.

Entertaining
