About this listen

Exeter, 1323. A strange man is entering people’s houses at night, causing panic amongst householders. Although many had thought him harmless, now he seems to have committed murder.

A man lies dead in his own home, slaughtered merely for trying to protect his children, and the folk of Exeter want this menace caught and hanged. Sir Baldwin de Furnshill suspects that the solution isn’t that simple.

As the country prepares for yet another civil war, two more people are found dead, and the city of Exeter shudders at the thought that there could be a killer out there, determined enough to strike again and again....

Brilliant

I was very pleased with both the story and the narration. Occasionally I had a problem with the past and present in the description but that could well have been my own fault because I didn’t listen to it all in one go.

Great Read

Wasn't sure whether to try another in the series as I found the one set in France hard to follow but in this one the plot was excellent and I found I could relate to the characters. I wish Audible would give us complete series. it would've been nice to start at the beginning! Having read a lot of medieval mystery series on Audible I don't think I've read a whole one!
I liked the narration and he brought out characters well even women.
Just a small point. People of Exeter pronounce Duryard durry -ard and Topsham as Topsh- am. Although I am a foreigner - I've only been here 37 years. Don't wish to be picky. So what's the next in the series?

I enjoyed this one!
