About this listen

Jetta needs to escape…

As a kitchen maid who has finally managed to escape abuse at her master’s hand, she finds herself at the scene of a crime. Now she's involved in a murder. How many times can her life be turned upside down? Never knowing her parentage, she has struggled alone for too long.

Dominic is a friend of the king…

Enjoying a peaceful life was never his choice. He wanted a change from the monotony. But finding his Farrier murdered, with only a slip of a girl as the likely culprit, was possibly taking things too far.

But murder isn’t always what it seems…

Sometimes it can be a revelation, introducing strangers who would never have met and revealing secrets kept hidden. Yet murder is still murder. And being arrested for one you had nothing to do with brings more than a few catastrophes, as well as new friends and strange paths to discover.

With the Battle of Bosworth looming…

Murder also becomes a terror spread across the fields, the blood and bodies of the slain. And with it, a new king and many changes that affect the country.

Jetta narrowly escapes one trauma after another. As murder and mayhem ensue, unlikely alliances come to her rescue. But where does that leave an impoverished kitchen maid?

weaving this story around those historical events is brilliant.

I empathised with the characters, and the narrator is sublime, he brings the book alive.

This is an author who really enjoyed writing the story. A good story with plenty of historical details but never dull. Plenty of humour.

Great fun

Another great book and narration hope audible make the whole series available with the same narrator

Love this series

A fairly enjoyable listen - due largely to the narrator, but so similar in plot to book one that you’d think it was a copy, with just the characters names changed. Knowing your English history does tend to spoil the story a tad but a good listen if you don’t mind getting frustrated every now and then.

Same as book one
