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....

Loved this book - I got drawn right into Bruno's world and was on the edge of my seat for the conclusion! I'd struggled at first with the change of narrator mid series but I really enjoyed this performance - going straight back to the beginning to enjoy them all again :)

On the edge of my seat!

These novels take you into the heart of intrigue and religious conflict in Elizabethan England, with the unusual slant of being perceived through the eye of the wonderful Bruno.
Well constructed and well narrated, a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Excellent pace from the beginning . The characters have dimension and the plot is a fresh take on existing facts. Obviously written with'licence' but still has a feeling of authenticity. The reader adds to the story telling and I think it is the best one yet.
