About this listen

Murder, intrigue and marriage in the Welsh Marches of old...

When Sir Geoffrey’s unpopular brother, Henry, is murdered, he unwillingly inherits Goodrich Castle in the Welsh Marches. Immediately, his sister pushes him towards a marriage that will provide an heir and stability for the family. But when Geoffrey survives attempts on his own life, he wonders whether they are linked to Henry’s death, to his potential brides, or even to the rumoured murder of the Duchess of Normandy, as a Welsh revolt against the English looms.

Superb convaluted plot that ensnares you.
A mixture of Father Brown and a military Columbo.

This is the first time I have found a good story set in Britain at the start of the 11th century and I was not disappointed.

There a raft of characters and lots constantly going on in the book. I look forward to reading more.

A really interesting if sometimes confusing book!

Very much enjoyed a break from the modern whodunnit by trying a 12thC one. Great narrator made it even more enjoyable. On to the next one!

Historical whodunnit.

Historical Drama

Why audible think it’s a good idea to start at book 6 and miss out the first five is a sign that someone else should be making these decisions. The book itself I really enjoyed. The historical side of it felt authentic and I think Mark Addis did an excellent job with the narration. I really hope we get to enjoy the earlier books the story feels incomplete without them.

Why start with book 6?

Quite enjoyable historical tale

I absolutely hate starting a series some books in. I really enjoyed this but was constantly frustrated by references to things in earlier books. It’s got 5 stars because it’s not the fault of the author or narrator but still grrrr.

Shame the full series is here.
