About this listen

1348. The Black Death enters England through the port of Melcombe; the people of the county start to die in the thousands. In the demesne of Develish, Lady Anne takes control of her people's future, chooses a bastard slave, Thaddeus Thurkell, to act as her steward, and together they decide to quarantine Develish by bringing the serfs inside the walls. With this sudden overturning of the accepted social order, where serfs exist only to serve their lords, conflicts soon arise....

l have liked most of Minette Walters crime stories and was curious to see what she did with a different time and very different events. It was very enjoyable with rounded characters and a varied engaging storyline. my only criticism was that I did not realise that it was a story in instalments. So the end came as a surprise. I hope that the continuation will be as good.

well written
