About this listen

Into the woods.

A leper's daughter is found in the well of a dying hamlet, and the only suspect has fled into Feckenham Forest. But the sun is setting, and Warwickshire's sheriff is hunting his new crowner. That sends Sir Faucon de Ramis and Brother Edmund, his prickly clerk, racing for a nearby abbey only to meet the man he least wishes to see at the abbey gates. Before long, Faucon finds himself riding into the dark at Sir Alain's side as they hunt for yet another lost innocent.

So many twists and turns that I couldn't stop listening until the early hours. Wonderful narration of another engrossing mystery in the series.

Convoluted

so engaging, characters so lively, I'm delighted that Alf joined the Crowner and his (infuriating) clerk, can't wait to start the next book as so far each book in the series is better than the previous one and ALL are really good

what a brilliant book

Great plot and well defined characters. My favourite so far in this series. Historical detail is interesting although in some places the language used has been modernised a step too far. I’m yet to understand why the coroner is referred to as “his” or “her” crowner, I thought it was a king’s representative. Narration much improved from previous book in series, though I still think that given the age of the main character (24 yo), a lighter tone would have been more appropriate.

Excellent story

The whole of this series of books have been so good. All the characters are likeable or suitably unlikeable. But the best thing is the narration! Terrific.

Love them
