À propos de cet audio

Paul Doherty's 22nd medieval mystery featuring Sir Hugh Corbett is a gripping and gruesome tale of murder and mayhem sure to appeal to fans of C. J. Sansom and Bernard Cornwell.

1312. Sir Hugh Corbett, Keeper of the Secret Seal, has returned from the West Country to find Westminster in chaos. Edward II has fled in an attempt to protect his favourite from the wrath of his noblemen, and a royal clerk has been found dead, poisoned in a locked chamber.

Drawn into a maze of murder both at Westminster and at the Convent of Saint Sulpice, where young novices have started to disappear, Corbett quickly establishes a connection between the two mysteries. As other killings follow, Corbett's investigation leads him to a high-class brothel and its sinister owner, Mother Midnight.

Challenged to a duel and hunted by a guild of ruthless assassins, Corbett and his loyal henchmen, Ranulf and Chanson, face a sea of troubles. And Corbett must call upon his wit and ingenuity to halt the tide of disaster that threatens to engulf him....

If you read more than one series by Paul Doherty this book will feel like déjà vu. One part of the story (Someone saw something amiss but can’t put their finger on what it was) happened in the last Hugh Corbett book. Another part (oil filled candles) happened in a fairly recent Brother Athelstan novel. Either Mr. Doherty is repeating himself or forgetting his own stories. I still enjoyed the book. There were enough differences for that. It was nicely read. The “character” voices were consistent but I felt that some of the scenes would have better if they had been read with a bit more drama.

Been there, done that
