Özet

The year is 1210 and a black force is sweeping England. A vengeful King John has seized control of the Church, leaving corpses to lie in consecrated ground, babies unbaptized, and the people terrified of dying in sin. In the village of Gastmere, the consequences grow darker still when Elena, a servant girl, is dragged into a conspiracy to absolve the sins of the lord of the manor. In desperation she visits the cunning woman, who has been waiting for just such an opportunity to fulfil an ancient curse conjured at the gallows.

The third Karen Maitland book I have listened to and the best so far. An absolute belter, if you enjoyed the Owl Killers and the Company of Liars you will love this. Extremely well narrated this audio book is the audio equivalent of an “UNPUTDOWNABLE” book. I seriously can’t wait for her next book.

Bloody, Brilliant and Bloody Brilliant!

Where does The Gallows Curse rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I really enjoyed this book, I've loved all of Maitland's book. Regarding Rafael's voice. It was odd at first but the narrator did a fine job with that and all of the characters. I think reading the printed copy wouldn't have the same impact as hearing Rafael and trying to imagine why people were sniggering at him. Some wonderful characters in the plot, I couldn't wait to see what happened to them all. As with the other books I can't wait to download the latest one to listen to.

Fascinating

This is a very good story, narrated brilliantly by David Thorpe who covers a multitude of voices and in between the story is a related tale being told by, of all things, a mandrake, adding a bit of interest! Karen Maitland has done a fabulous job with this historic tale and the characters are kept to just a few so you can’t get lost on who’s who. It has, supressed love, uncouth and wicked actions and acts borne out of fear. I raced through this one because it was pretty gripping throughout. My only criticism would be the end of the story, which for me was disappointing and that is probably only because I didn’t want it to end the way it did. One of the best stories I have listened to for a while. You wont be wasting your money. Enjoy.

Brilliant, amazing story

I’m about half way through and I’m enjoying the book but it’s complicated to listen too.

As others have said Rafes voice is squeaky but it’s not distracting me it’s just there’s lots of characters and a story which is a bit of a jumble.

I’m going to hang in there and will update this review when I’m finished the book.

So I've finished this book and its excellent. The jumble sorts itself out and then you get carried away with the story and the quality of the writing. Okay there is a little bit where you have to suspend disbelief but its minor. I so hope there is a follow up as i would love to know how some of the characters lives go on after the end. Its dark and there isnt a lot of happy endings but its brilliant and i got transported back to the middle ages.

David Thorpe does a magical narration and this book was chosen as my second book in a BOGOF sale...so well worth it.

Complex and needs concentration but so worth it!

I really enjoy maitland's books and mostly enjoy Thorpe' s narration, but oh God, why must almost the entire thing be narrated by his generic unidentifiable "European"' accent. I had the same issue with the owl killers.

oh God, the accents
