About this listen

Salisbury 1227: Ela Longespée’s friend Alice de Gilbert bemoans her barren and loveless marriage, but Ela counsels her to remain faithful. When Alice’s husband is found dead, Ela must prove her friend’s innocence—or try her for murder.

The Ela of Salisbury Medieval Mystery Series

This series features a real historical figure—the formidable Ela Longespée. The young Countess of Salisbury was chosen to marry King Henry II’s illegitimate son William. After her husband’s untimely death, Ela served as High Sheriff of Wiltshire, castellan of Salisbury Castle, and ultimately founder and abbess of Lacock Abbey.

I continue to really enjoy these historical stories, all the more for being based on a real character.

Another brilliant story

Love the narrator. She performs the various characters well & makes the book flow enjoyably. Great audio

Nice twists & turns. A different tale from the standard ‘murdered who dunit’
