Intrigue, suspicion, and rivalry among the royal princes casts a shadow on the court of Owain, king of north Wales...

The year is 1143 and King Owain seeks to unite his daughter in marriage with an allied king. But when the groom is murdered on the way to his wedding, the bride's brother tasks his two best detectives—Gareth, a knight, and Gwen, the daughter of the court bard—with bringing the killer to justice.

And once blame for the murder falls on Gareth himself, Gwen must continue her search for the truth alone, finding unlikely allies in foreign lands, and ultimately uncovering a conspiracy that will shake the political foundations of Wales. The Good Knight is the first of the Gareth and Gwen Medieval Mysteries.

Other books in the series include a prequel novella, The Bard's Daughter and four novels: The Uninvited Guest, The Fourth Horseman, The Fallen Princess, and The Unlikely Spy.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

for me it was time well spent listened while traveling back to Wales from Scotland. Having already read the books it helped make a long car journey fairly pleasant.

What did you like best about this story?

A good original story set in a real place with real events and people. You begin to wonder who is to be murdered next.

What didn’t you like about Laurel Schroeder’s performance?

It was really spoilt by the reader who sounded more Irish than Welsh. the pronunciation of names like Llewelyn was awful and sounded as though it began with an S. It took me quite some time to work out that Cadesh was supposed to be Cadell.

Could you see The Good Knight being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

In the right hands it would be a good movie as long as the scriptwriters remember it is set in Wales and not the USA.

Good Story spoilt

Not a bad little story, and the characters feel both of their time, and quite interesting. It did take me some time to get over the distracting accent the narrator gave the main characters. I couldn't work out whether it was some extensively researched pan-celtic accent, or just a very bad attempt at Welsh by an American! Once i got used to it, quite gripping.

Not bad, but what's that accent?

I enjoyed this story even though the narrator's depiction of a Welsh accent was awful. At times very Irish sounding then veering into Indian tones. I would actually have preferred if she'd just done a more English accent at least it wouldn't have been so jarring to begin with.
I don't know if I'll listen to another Gwen & Gareth story as the author seems to really be dragging out their romance and concentrating on the mystery/ detective side of the books.

More Irish/Indian than Welsh!

Follow the adventure of Gareth and Gwen In medieval Wales, you will fall in love with the characters but also with Wales.
The story lines have turn and swist. A very good mystery series.

One of my favourite series from Sarah Woodbury

Really?? REALLY?!! A story set in 1143, medieval England, being read by an American?? Unbelievable! If that wasn’t bad enough in itself, the delivery of the Welsh accent is appalling and some of the pronunciation is just laughable. This is a potentially good series of audiobooks totally ruined by the narrator. I’m exceptionally disappointed and will be returning this after only struggling through about 15 minutes of it.

What a farce!
