A fun listen

Another fun listen and good performance by Madeleine Brolly.
The story, as a mystery, was fairly predicable, but the historical touches were good. Always interesting to hear what women’s’ lives were like in Medieval Britain. Ela of Salisbury was certainly a formidable woman.
I hope there will be more audiobooks in this series. I’ve enjoyed them.

Great story

I love these historical stories, Ela is a real breath if fresh air and must have had such strength to live as she did in this’d times.
