About this listen

Your God. Your Country. Your Kin. Who Do You Betray? London, 1563. Catholic plots against the young Queen Elizabeth spring up all over the country. William Harley - known to everyone as Clarenceux - receives a book from his friend and fellow Catholic, Henry Machyn, who is in fear of his life. Then Clarenceux is visited by Francis Walsingham and his ruthless enforcers, who will stop at nothing to gain possession of the book. What secret can the book hold?

I love c j sansoms books and hoped that this might be similar. It was only for the period it was set in, I found it difficult to believe in the story. But quite enjoyed it.

Not quite what I had hoped for

Loved this book, if you like quality historical fiction with a sprinkling of whodunit, you could do much worse than this. This book is how it should be imo. The narrator is excellent too, dramatising without over-egging it. I've been waiting (im)patiently for the next book, in what I hope will become a series (Roots of Betrayal), to be available on Audible and saw today it has been listed. That's what this month's credit will be going on!

Very satisfying!

Great book

I liked the pace at which the story moved- considered but not slow; detailed but not weighed down. Wonderfully drawn characters, if somewhat grotesque.

Good old-fashioned yarn.
