About this listen
In the winter of 1271, death stalks the corridors of Wynethorpe Castle on the Welsh border. When the Grim Reaper touches the beloved grandson of the castle lord, Baron Adam sends for his daughter, Prioress Eleanor of Tyndal, and her subinfirmarian, Sister Anne, to save the child with their prayers and healing talents. Escorting them to the remote fortress is Brother Thomas, an unwilling monk fighting his private demons.
Death may be denied once in his quest for souls but never twice. Soon after the trio arrives, an important guest is murdered. The prioress' brother, bloody dagger in hand, stands over the corpse. All others may believe in his guilt, but Eleanor is convinced her brother is innocent.
Outside her priory, in a world of armed men, Eleanor may have little authority, but she is determined to untangle the Gordian knot of thwarted passions and old resentments even if it means defying her father, a man with whom she longs to make peace. As passions rise with the winter wind and time runs short, Eleanor, Anne, and Thomas struggle to find the real killer.

A good tale spoiled on occasion by wrong emphasis by the reader
I have listened now to a number of the stories about Prioress Eleanor.
The stories are well crafted and I like the voice of the narrator, it’s just a shame that at times the whole meaning of a sentence is distorted by the emphasis on the wrong phrase, word or syllable. Often I find myself replaying sections because of this, what can only be described as a lack of understanding of the gist of the context of a sentence.
I know many will think this to be semantics but for me it spoils what could be a perfect experience for the lack of a little listening by the narrator. Hearing and listening being two quite different functions.

A second well written free book.
I love these mysteries. As a 21c reader we are privy to how these characters think and laws of the time. we forn our own conclusions. sometimes we see it coming as we have better knowledge than the modest characters, sometimes we are kept guessing. a good listen for anyone who likes historical novels.

An American pretending to be English makes for awkward
The story is a decent enough pot-boiler and there’s nothing offensive about it, but if you’re going to write books set in England, for goodness’ sake, PLEASE learn how to pronounce English places and words as English speakers (as opposed to American speakers) do.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
A perfect second novel in this series. The characters introduced in the first book are given full fleshing out in this second book.
I think this will go on to be a fantastic series of books. As a fan of both the historical and crime fiction genres it is great to find examples where the two come together in such well written form.

Good but
I love historical fiction especially with a murder mystery element. Whilst the attitude towards women, marriage and rape are abhorrent with the religious dogma at times painful, sad and absurd.
There is some much humour in amongst murder mayhem.
These books provide an insight into a different time… although people have rarely changed whatever the century they live in.
Again even with some books included in free, it’s a shame to have some missing in the series.
And again, the ultimate insult to the ears of a listener… changing the narrator, not once but 3 times!

Not to my liking
Found this a little heavy going at times, Slept through some of it, it didn’t hold my attention
