About this listen

The new Sir Geoffrey Mappestone mystery.

When the former crusader knight Geoffrey Mappestone is ordered by King Henry to deliver a series of mysterious letters to the restless western reaches of Wales, he agrees only reluctantly.

His conviction that the simple mission hides something more sinister is strengthened when the letters’ scribe is murdered before the journey begins.

Then one of Geoffrey’s travelling companions is killed, and he knows he must uncover the secret behind the letters before more victims are claimed...

I've really enjoyed listening to the latest 3 books in this series, shame the first five weren't available. The details are historically accurate and the characters well developed.
The narrator is a skilled story teller whose accents and characterisation is excellent - in fact one of the best I've heard in a long time!

good story and an enjoyable listen!

I have only listened to the last 3 books. I hope there will be more

Good story

I found the plot quite complicated (in a good way) and there were plenty of characters and potential villains. I particularly enjoyed the narrators style of delivery, accents and humour.

very enjoyable narrator
