About this listen

March, 1605.

Country doctor and former ship surgeon Gabriel Taverner is ready for his next adventure. He can't wait to leave Devon and tend to the crew of the Luipaard while sailing the Eastern seas.

As years pass by, Gabriel's family and friends back home are struggling with his substitute physician. Doctor Maudsley Cheverell turned out to be as incompetent as they come and unpleasant at best. So when he is found dead in a ditch one day, no one seems to be too surprised. Only, when examining the body, it seems like Cheverell was tortured using a specific method from the East . . .

Is there a connection to Gabriel and his time in Asia? Where is he now? And how did the quiet English town of Tavy Valley suddenly get involved in a dangerous plot?

This whole series has been brilliant in both the writing and the narration, but I love how many unusual and different paths the story took and I very much hope to read more!!

Absolutely brilliant

The suspense builds and builds
towards the end climax making it impossible to putdown, a really gripping read.

With this series Alys Clare continues to hook her readers. No story the is the same. This time she takes Gabriel to Japan with all the flavour of a country not known in the 16th/17th Century.

Another Great Gabriel Taverner Episode

Quite the fantasy.
I like the ideas in these stories and the characters are engaging. I’m not sure if it’s the narration or the writing itself, but sometimes it all seems a little bit ‘jolly hockeysticks’ you can guess the sort but that doesn’t detract from the entertainment.

Worth a listen
