About this listen

The follow-up to the best-selling Heresy sees the return of Giordano Bruno, religious exile and renegade monk…

Autumn, 1583. As an astrological phenomenon heralds the dawn of a new age and Mary Stuart’s supporters scheme to usurp Elizabeth, a young maid is murdered, occult symbols carved into her flesh. Giordano Bruno is called on to use his cunning to infiltrate the plotters and find evidence against them. In fear for his life, Bruno discovers that the young woman’s murder could point to an even more sinister truth…

Critic reviews

"Parris writes with confident ease of Tudor London… The dialogue balances nicely on a tightrope of period phrases and cut-to-the-chase colloquialisms. More, please." ( Times)
"Impossible to resist … Parris creates a convincing sense of the past, woven with so much intrigue that the head fairly spins" ( Daily Telegraph)

This is the second Elizabethan mystery for Giordano Bruno, monk, philosopher, heretic. It is set in the latter part of 1583.

Astrological pronouncements, plots & murder, are the main source of inspiration for Bruno to get involved with intrigue, murder & plots to kill Queen Elizabeth.

Francis Walsingham uses Bruno to get to the truth & as a result, his own life is in jeopardy.

The narrator really brings this book and its characters to life. So entertaining to listen to, I found it hard to put it down. This is the second book in the series and there is now a depth to the main characters and a brilliant story line with twists and turns. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries set in an historical background.
