About this listen

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.

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
