About this listen

The much-feared and hated Eudo - the Lord Bishop of Winchester's clerk - is bludgeoned to death in Pershore Abbey and laid before the altar in the attitude of a penitent. Everyone who had contact with him had reason to dislike him, but who had reason to kill him?

The Sheriff of Worcestershire's thief taker, wily Serjeant Catchpoll, and his new and unwanted superior, Undersheriff Hugh Bradecote, have to find the answer. And as the claustrophobic walls of the abbey close in on the suspects, the killer strikes again....

I really enjoyed the story and the narration. Matt Addis does a first rate job and I look forward to the next book.

Really enjoyable

The story was interesting enough and easy to follow with a character pot that wasn’t too large to baffle us. Each of the main characters were well drawn enough to be individuals but not enough to challenge their credibility (the historical aspects being on the light side).

This is historical crime fiction which has a tinge of romance and is certainly more about entertainment than historical fact. Which it does perfectly well.

The narrator was a sound choice.

In the fine tradition of light historical crime

Couldn't get to the end of this. Well read by the narrator but the story was dull and lackluster.

Dull

I stuck with the story tho it never really seemed to get going. Yes it did have echoes of Ellis Peters but very distant ones. Narration was excellent

I’ve already read the first few books of this series in book form, and finished the series off on Audible. I just love the way the characters and their relationships develop over the series. The reader does SUCH a good job in bringing the characters to life, that I’m enjoying them all, all over again!

Cracking good listen!
