Özet

It is the spring of 1297, and young wife Margaret Kerr is desperately afraid. With English soldiers patrolling the streets, it is no place for a woman alone. Margaret's mission is frowned upon, her arrival at her uncle's tavern unwelcome. And when she starts to ask questions she finds a city rife with closely guarded secrets and dangerous loyalties. Soon violence erupts outside the tavern and there is murder on their doorstep. Margaret discovers how little she had known either of Roger or Jack...

The narration's good, in a pleasant light Scots accent, and if the main character's female, I do prefer a woman to read. It's easier to take to Margaret Kerr than Owen Archer (mercenaries aren't terribly attractive!) and even if you don't know who actually is a "goodie", it's clear and invariable that the real big "baddies" are Longshanks and his supporters. Needless to say, the Scoto-Norman nobility are as devious and self serving as their Anglo counterparts, although I may be over cautious in considering everyone with a Norman name (Sinclair, for example) as suspect. It works for Bruce, of course, but you knew that....

Better than the Owen Archer series.

Candace Robb researches her subjects and periods well. The audio-performances are either made or fall in terms of the strength of their narrators. Happily, A Trust Betrayed is well performed. The story is very well grounded in the semi-final decades of Edward I’s reign. Thirteenth-century England was in the process of trying to conquer the other communities of insular Britain: Wales, Ireland and Scotland. And al the while, the wheels of church politics and royal competition keep turn. The beauty of this novel is the portrayal of less powerful, but no less determined women and men against the venial demands of state and church. Margaret Kerr is an exciting, unpredictable character. I look forward to the next text in the series!

Have no idea whether it's the gruellingy droning narrator or the seemingly endless bang your head against a wall tedium of the story but I couldn't even finish it... dreadful book

Dull dull dull
