About this listen

 When the mutilated body of midwife and healer Agatha Kyteler is discovered in a hedge one frozen wintry morning, it seems at first that a lack of clues will render the crime impossible to solve. Then a frightened local youth inexplicably flees his village, and a hue and cry is raised in his wake.

Sir Baldwin Furnshill, once a Knight Templar, has doubts about the boy's guilt. He enlists his friend Simon Puttock, bailiff of Lydford Castle, in the hunt for a murderer. But what they seek lies somewhere on the darker side of Wefford, beneath layers of jealousy, suspicion, and hatred - and the buried truth could prove fatal to anyone who disturbs it.

As a fan of Michael Jecks, and a fellow adopted Devonian, I really enjoy his books. They paint a great picture of what life was like in the day, as well as being very entertaining. Hearing them read so well on Audible brings another, even more enjoyable dimension. Thank you Michael.
