Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Ringed Castle by Dorothy Dunnett, read by David Monteath.

Sixteen-year-old Philippa Somerville has left Constantinople intact. Returning to England as wife in name only to Francis Crawford of Lymond, she wastes no time in seeking the truth about her new spouse, even as she finds herself navigating the paranoid court of Queen Mary.

Lymond, meanwhile, arrives in Moscow to assist its young Tsar Ivan to create a fledgling Russian army. But when he is tasked to visit London as Ivan's envoy his path is bound to cross that of the wife he has sworn to divorce.

Yet neither Lymond nor Philippa, caught up in their own scheming, can quite see the vast conspiracy enshrouding them . . .

She is a brilliant story teller, The Lymond Chronicles will keep you reading late into the night, desperate to know the fate of the characters you have come to care deeply about.
Melodrama of the most magnificent kind
Praise for Dorothy Dunnett
A storyteller who could teach Scheherazade a thing or two about pace, suspense and imaginative invention
Marvellous, breathtaking
A masterpiece of historical fiction
One of the greatest tale-spinners since Dumas
Lashings of excitement, colour and subtlety
Vivid, engaging, densely plotted - are almost certainly destined to be counted among the classics of popular fiction

Brilliant. Not any of the overly florid writing that marked the previous books. So glad to see the end of Graham Mallett!. A little of the Robert Louis Stevenson's comic touch. Excellent .
The reader is fantastic, really enjoyed his performance

The best so far of a tremendous series.

One book left in the series and i am dreading it coming to an end. It’s difficult to express how good the Lymond Chronicles are. Its not an easy read or listen, you just have to let it flow over you. It is exciting, complex, fun and just utterly brilliant. A timeless classic, Dorothy Dunnett is one of the greats!

The Twist and Turns of the story continue and this makes it a good book. Narration is excellent.

A Good Book

Dorothy Dunnett has a distinctive writing style, which I suspect that you will either love or hate - can be satisfyingly immersive when it comes to the historical settings, but the endlessly oblique and obscure dialogue between her characters can be very wearisome. And all her books basically feature versions of the same arrogant conceited main character, who frankly is a complete pain. Liked the Russian setting for this one, and quite well read, although I didn't like his characterisation of Philippa, who is meant to be intelligent, educated and self assured, not some modest mouse

Good book, but annoying protagonist
