À propos de cet audio

 Late on a spring night in 1920, five boys cross the Yorkshire dales to the ruins of Fountains Abbey, intent on raising the Devil. Instead, they stumble over the Devil himself, sitting there watching them. Terrified, they run for their lives, leaving behind a book on alchemy stolen from their schoolmaster. The next morning, a body is discovered in the cloisters of the abbey--a man swathed in a hooded cloak and wearing a gas mask.

Scotland Yard dispatches Inspector Rutledge to find out who the man was and why he died in such mysterious circumstances. But the villagers clearly have something to hide. And what does the huge chalk sculpture of a pale horse of the Apocalypse have to do with the crime?

I live the whole series, it’s my 2nd time through. Simon Prebble’s narration truly captures the nature of Hamish’s betwixt and between existence.

Simon Prebble is brilliant

I was I was pleasantly surprised with this story. It was interesting from beginning to end with a few plot twists that I did not see coming. The narrator has an excellent voice and did a great job voicing the different characters, both male and female. I will definitely listen to another book by this author and I want to hear other books read by this narrator.

A very interesting story, very well told

I enjoyed this audiobook but have a couple of issues with it:
I lost track of characters at times given the twists and turns and various characters. Hamish is also a bit of a mystery to me at times.

The endings of Charles Todd’s stories are always disappointing and anti-climactic to me, but I love the soothing time-travel to 1920 rural England so very much, and in Simon Prebble’s narration, that I keep listening to book after book.

Excellent Narrator; Easy-Listening Story
