“My life would have been more tranquil in the days after Martinmas had I not seen the crows. Whatever it was that the crows had found lay in the dappled shadow of the bare limbs of the oak, so I was nearly upon the thing before I recognized what the crows were feasting upon. The corpse wore black.”
Master Hugh is making his way towards Oxford when he discovers the young Benedictine - a fresh body, barefoot - not half a mile from the nearby abbey. The abbey’s novice master confirms the boy’s identity: John, one of three novices. But he had gone missing four days previously, and his corpse is fresh. There has been plague in the area, but this was not the cause of death: The lad has been stabbed in the back. To Hugh’s sinking heart, the abbot has a commission for him....

And, by the way, the complainers who dis the narration are mere whiners. Sure, if you've been bingeing, you hope for the same voice and style you've come to expect. Of course Tim Bruce's voice (duh) and style are different! he's his own man. However, while not identical, the narration is excellent and I had absolutely NO difficulty recognizing the different voices whatsoever, including knowing whether it was Hugh or the Abbot speaking. I did find the the pace and tone at a speed of 1.1 worked better--for me, at least.
New series narrator does just fine. Good story.

Regarding narration. I thought the narrator was having an off time of it until I saw it was a completely different narrator. I still think he did a good job. The only problem I saw was the voice he used for Abbot and Hugh were too similar. Later in the book something happens that changes the voice of the Abbot (it's a spoiler so I can't go into anymore detail) So at that point it was easier to differentiate between the two voices. But it was difficult to tell which one was speaking at times which made the story a bit confusing.
I think the narrator does a good job. It must be difficult taking over a series that already has an established and loved narrator. So I have to give him credit for taking on that task.
Would definitely recommend this series to others.
narration is a bit off.
