About this listen

A grand tournament is about to begin, and the excitement grows as King Edward III joins the festivities at Mablethorpe Castle. Meanwhile, Lady Vivienne Harlowe's past comes back to haunt her, and she will do anything to find answers to the questions that have plagued her for the past seven years regarding her parents' unsolved murders. Meeting the king is nerve-wracking, but he is the only one who might be able to shed light on her nightmarish quandary.

When an unexpected death occurs on the tiltyard, Lady Vivienne and Sheriff Zachariah Fitch find themselves searching for a killer who seems to lurk in the shadows and is always one step ahead of them at every turn. With the crowds and chaos from the tournament surrounding them, and Zachariah being distracted by an unexpected visitor from his own past, they are at a severe disadvantage in trying to discover the truth. Now, they must not only protect the king, but also clear the name of the accused before the end of the tournament, or an innocent man will die for another's crime.

Time ticks down quickly, forcing the sheriff to devise a dangerous plan to draw out the murderer . . . and at the same time, hope their king survives the process.

Enjoyable historical mystery with well rounded and interesting characters. The performer is excellent bringing each character to life. I hope the author has more of this series in the pipeline. I would say this series needs to be read in order.

I thought I would listen to this to expand my horizon of listens. it was really interesting what I do regret is that I think this is something that you need to listen to in order and that is my issue not the authors so I do have to rectify this and then register to it.

I like the way the different characters have completely different voices

interesting

Zachariah and Vivienne are back and the latest murder holds clues to her parents murder and their connection to the king. I enjoy this series and the historic element. The fission, the food and the hierarchy is explained without distracting from the narrative.
The narration is excellent

Wonderful mystery
