Christopher Rowe is back, and there are more puzzles, riddles, and secrets to uncover in this follow-up to the Indie Next pick The Blackthorn Key, which was called a "spectacular debut" by Kirkus Reviews.
The Black Death has returned to London, spreading disease and fear through town. A mysterious prophet predicts the city's ultimate doom - until an unknown apothecary arrives with a cure that actually works. Christopher's Blackthorn shop is chosen to prepare the remedy. But when an assassin threatens the apothecary's life, Christopher and his faithful friend, Tom, are back to hunting down the truth, risking their lives to untangle the heart of a dark conspiracy.
And as the sickness strikes close to home, the stakes are higher than ever before.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would -- and have -- recommended this series to everyone I know. Several family members got the first book for Christmas this year. First, the narrator is amazing and really draws you into the story. Our family feels like we know the protagonist, Christopher Rowe. The Blackthorn Key audiobooks are fun, exciting and make car rides infinitely more enjoyable.What was one of the most memorable moments of Mark of the Plague?
All of Christopher's code breaking and near misses and entertaining.Which character – as performed by Ray Panthaki – was your favorite?
Christopher Rowe.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Totally.Any additional comments?
I've noticed that Ray Panthaki isn't narrating the next book. I have yet to listen, but I'd love him to return for subsequent books. For me, his narration is half of the enjoyment.Love this narrator

The second half, on the other hand, was RIVETING. I couldn't stop listening once the plot picked up. There were thrilling near-misses, daring escapes, and surprising twists (that built on the extremely obvious detail from the first half). The ending will leave you wowed and weeping.
With all that said, I recommend picking up this title, especially if you were a fan of the first. The greatest part was getting to know Sands' interesting characters better. Just be patient with the first half ;)
Good, Just not as good as Book 1
