Cambridge University is in dire financial straits: the town's landlords are demanding an extortionate rent rise for the students' hostels, and the plague years have left the colleges with scant resources. Tension between town and gown is at boiling point and soon explodes into violence and death. Into this maelstrom comes a charismatic physician whose healing methods owe more to magic than medicine, but his success threatens Matthew Bartholomew's professional reputation - and his life....

One of the best Matthew Bartholomew books. Gripping story and lots of fun! Had to laugh out loud many times! Brilliant!

This is possibly my favourite so far, working through from the beginning. They are always better in my opinion when the motley crew at Michael House are involved and in this story much time was spent there. Fair enough Clixby and Sutton were missing but Brother William was on form with his rabid hatred of Dominicans, whom he blames for everything with such uncompromising virulence that it always makes me laugh. Plenty of twists and turns and Matthew and Michael are as slow as ever but then with Matthew's naivety and basic goodness and Michael not being able to pass the Brazen George for some nosh and ale, it is no wonder. The usual high mortality rate but our intrepid duo plod on regardless, going round in circles whilst they occasionally manage to carry out their teaching roles. Death or no these books are such fun.

Enjoyed David Thorpe the narrator. He has really helped me to produce a good mind picture of each character. He enhances the story. Typical intricate plot, but that is why I like it. Am able to listen to this again and again. I regularly go through the whole collection every few years.
Haven’t found anything of the same standard of writing to compare. Language use excellent and no sex scenes or bad language included. Which just goes to prove that good entertainment can be achieved without such salacious material being included.

Excellent plots and subplots.

Susanna Gregory's books are always extremely well written and this is no exception. The characters in the story are well drawn and Brother Michael, Matthew Batholomew, Cynric, Langella, Brother William and the rest of the Fellows from St Michaels are old friends. Putting the reader/listener into life in the 14th century makes it very real. This series of books always make good listening,[David Thorpe creates each part wonderfully]

Fascinating and intricate storyline.

Have just listened/read this in sequence order. This is an interesting enough tale, though found I missed the performer of the two previous novels in this series (Andrew Wincott). The novel will delight dedicated Matthew Bartholomew followers. Bringing in an outsider character new to Cambridge is an effective driver for the story. Given the size of Cambridge's population at the time there needed to be new blood introduced - to be spilt or not!
