About this listen
An outlaw plowman falsely accused of murder
An alchemist's virgin who is more than she seems
A fiendish murderer hiding in open sight
Cathar country, (now) southern France, year: 1200.
When the woodcutter's only daughter is murdered, the bailiff tries to arrest Bertwoin the Plowman, who flees to a master alchemist and his professional virgin, Flowia, for help.
Bertwoin must find the brutal killer while the grieving woodcutter, the relentless bailiff, and righteous monks pursue him. His search for clues takes him to the corpse room inside an abbey, to a torture pit near the Devil’s Doorstep, and to the accursed home of a heretic priest.
When monks capture him, wily Flowia rescues Bertwoin from the Bishop’s dungeon and hides with him where no one would think to look for them.
To save his own life and another life as precious as his own, Bertwoin must outwit this sadistic killer who hunts them . . . and who knows how to find them.

Excellent first in series
This is a good mystery. The depiction of the life of the common people is vivid and the characters intriguing. THe plot held my attention from start to finish if you like Ellis Peters Cadfael you will enjoy this.
The narrator does an excellent job.

The Ploughman's Plight.
A well written murder mystery set in the medieval times. There are quite a few suspects, plenty of theories about who the murderer is, but the lawman is all for an easy life and conviction and the Ploughman is his prime suspect and he doesn't want to look any further. Superstition abounds and the master and alchemist have all to do to save him from the gallows. Little is known really about those times but the author has made the whole story believable. Jason L. Bishop's narration is spot on and helps bring the story to life. I would happily listen to more books in this series. Highly Recommended.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review voluntarily.
