About this listen

England, 1586.

A treasonous conspiracy....

Giordano Bruno returns to England to bring shocking new intelligence to Sir Francis Walsingham. A band of Catholic Englishmen are plotting to kill Queen Elizabeth and spring Mary Queen of Scots from prison to take the English throne in her place.

A deadly trap....

Bruno is surprised to find that Walsingham is aware of the plot, led by the young, wealthy noble Anthony Babington and is allowing it to progress. His hope is that Mary will put her support in writing - and condemn herself to a traitor's death.

A queen in mortal danger....

Bruno is tasked with going undercover to join the conspirators. Can he stop them before he is exposed? Either way a Queen will die; Bruno must make sure it is the right one....

Terrific!

I’ve enjoyed all the Bruno books but this was particularly good. He’s such a likeable character and although I knew how the Babington plot ended, it was an exciting and gripping read. The narration was excellent. Recommended.

Sadly let down by the reader

Having listened to the previous audiobooks in this series read by Laurence Kennedy, I was very disappointed by the reader on this one. Laurence Kennedy did a fantastic job of vocalising the different characters, a feat that this reader did not match in my opinion. It seemed that he couldn't be bothered with the character vocalisation at all.

Excellent story let down by woeful performance.

Please try and get the same reader for multi character novels.

Historical sensation.

Fantastic storytelling set in the religious tormoil of Elizabethan England if you enjoy history, pacifically Tudor era, you will love this, not the same but similar to shardlake in its atmosphere and the way the story takes you back to those mad times in our history.
The narrator is also very good as often a poor storyteller will ruin even the best of books, so have a listen you won't regret it I'm sure!

Another great story woven into real history

Great to hear a wide variety of characters reflecting the ethnic, sexual and neurodiverse real world that existed then as now.

A great addition to the series

Very well narrated (it’s frustrating how many other narrators struggle with accents!) and a gripping story. Another great Bruno book.
