About this listen

It is the winter of 1143 and all is not well in the court of Owain, King of north Wales: his future in-laws are untrustworthy; the Norman lords on his eastern border are restless; and among his wedding guests lurks a cold-blooded killer. Gareth and Gwen have marriage plans of their own, but their love will have to wait while the pair race to separate truth from lies, friends from foes, and unravel the mystery before King Owain--and his new bride--fall victim to their uninvited guest.

The Uninvited Guest is the second Gareth & Gwen Medieval Mystery.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the first story in this series, and this second one keeps up the standards! Not only does Ms Woodbury give us a rich cast of characters, we’re in a medieval castle in Wales for a royal wedding, with an attempted murder and two bodies found in unexpected places.

There’s enough detail to give us an impression of some aspects of life at the time, some which seem familiar and others pretty alien. We have the mystery of the murders being investigated and solved, with twists and turns along the way.

I thought the narrator made a decent job of the Welsh accents, which can’t be easy for someone not that familiar with them, and her pacing and “feeling” was spot-on.

Entertaining continuation of the series

I personally love Wales and his history. Knowing that a lot of facts are true make those story even more relavante.
I also adore the way it is narrated with a real welsh accent. Thank you.

The time and place this book was set in is one of particular interest to me but it did not meet my expectations. I struggled to finish it. Possibly a book better read than listened to, I found it hard to concentrate on. The repetition of ‘He said/She said’ was particularly irritating, again perhaps better read.

Disappointing
