About this listen

When Bartholomew Fair, London's largest public festival, is threatened in 1589 by 500 armed soldiers dismissed from service without pay, the authorities act swiftly and decisively to prevent trouble. Yet other trouble is brewing. Young physician and code-breaker Christoval Alvarez stumbles upon a sinister troupe of Italian puppeteers bent on making mischief, but it soon becomes apparent that more than mischief is in the air. Sir Francis Walsingham's agents are baffled by the ill-assorted conspirators, including one of their own men. Time is running out, and a missing cache of gunpowder cannot be found.

The more I listen to these, the more I enjoy them. The narrator has a slightly odd way of starting each sentence of Kit's higher up, as if she thinks this makes it sounds interesting which is a shame but you get used to it after a while and on the whole she does well with a wide variety of make and female parts, not an easy task! The story grows increasingly better with each episode.

Intricately woven historical mystery
