Another superbly written and highly entertaining novel in the Niccolò series, with yet another fascinating location - to the north this time - with another set of challenges for our hero.

Laugh out loud comedy, sheer terror, and deep mystery

You have to work hard to keep up with Dorothy Dunnett’s marvellously complex and rich characters and plots. But it’s worth it. Particular acknowledgement due to John Banks: superb reading with dozens of different voices. French could be improved but that’s a tiny quibble. This series must have been a marathon, but he is consistent throughout, and his voice is a pleasure to listen to.

Enthralling

Dorothy Dunnett never fails to impress, intrigue and compel with the complexity of plot and characterisation. Her research is immaculate and the world she creates fascinating.

Brilliant as ever

Having read all the Niccolo books (yes, and the Lymond ones too but I prefer the Niccolo ones), I have been listening to the audio books during lockdown.
The narrator is very talented and it must be a huge challenge to manage all the characters. His rendition of Nicholas' acceptance of his huge loss as he realises hardly anyone will be his friend or follower, especially not his wife is exquisite : "not you, not you, not you".

Beautifully read / fabulous book
