January 1144.

Hugh Bradecote does not want his betrothed heading off on pilgrimage to the shrine of St Eadgyth at Polesworth, but the Archbishop of Canterbury's envoy and his entourage of monks seem Heaven sent as escorts, right up until they are captured by a renegade who wants his forger out of the lord Sheriff's cells; a renegade who loathes the Benedictines and kills for pleasure.

Against a backdrop of a hard winter and even a frozen River Severn, Bradecote and Catchpoll are struggling to rescue the clerics and Christina, before a psychopath does his worst, the lord Sheriff loses patience and Bradecote cracks under the pressure.

Here we go frolicking in the snow with Bradecote, Catchpoll, Walkelin and Christina in the mid 12th century.
The bone chilling cold can be felt through the author’s words.
As ever the story is crafted to perfection:-
Scenery is described like a sketch that allows the perfect picture
Characters brought to life so well I feel I could reach out and touch them
And the story itself holds me within it so I feel disconnected from the 21st century as I finish it so hearing the children leaving school and the vehicles driving by as type this review feels foreign.
Mistress Catchpoll and young Hugh were such stars in this book.
I’m anxious to start the next in the series.

Another brilliant story

I still enjoyed it. Matt Addis does a really good job of the narration. In respect of the story; at times Hugh Bradecote spent so much time feeling sorry for himself that I wanted to shake him. How on earth was he going to save his betrothed sitting about moping?! Other than that, the story was good and it flowed well, even though it frequently switched from the search to the kidnappers and hostages.

Not the best but...

Sarah Hawkswood combines a historical thriller with a touch of romance in the latest installment of Bradicot and Catchpole.
There’s always room for redemption in her books and here, again, a bad character comes good. The plot is at times a little slow, too much travelling about and hiding in barns for my liking, but Hugh and his sidekick win the day in the end, thus the four stars for story. That said I enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it.
Matt Addis’s narration is, as always, superb. I could listen to his voice all day.

Kidnapped monks and women being strong-hurrah. The editors were grossly unfairly to the narrator for not editing out his comment which clearly followed a mistake but that’s a common problem with books on audible. We deserve better.

Good fun
