Salisbury 1226.

When a child of village outcasts disappears from Salisbury, the odious new sheriff doesn’t seem to care. Ela Longespée is determined to help the girl’s desperate parents and her investigation leads her into the thick of a human-trafficking ring in London. There, she vows to find the lost child, arrest the perpetrators, and convince the king to make her high sheriff of Wiltshire.

Another very well-written and intriguing mystery with an intelligent, earnest and strong woman at the center, and very much on the side of moral righteousness. It's amazing all she did, and adds much to the tale, to know it is based on a real woman of medieval times in Salisbury. The plot is tight and the characters clearly drawn. Even though there are cruel aspects, horrible aspects, the quality of writing keeps me reading. Beautifully narrated by Madeleine Brolly!

Well-written, intriguing, realistic

It was easy to get caught up in the mystery, pathos, and adventure of this story. Plus, it's always great to see the guilty get their comeuppance. I'm looking forward to the next book. By the way, I listen to a lot of audiobooks and I think this performance is terrific.

They just keep getting better!

I love the book. I love the narrator. I really think her name is pronounced with a hard E sound E-la, but other than that, perfect!

Love it

I like the characters and atmosphere. Voice of narrator was perfect. Very detailed, which I liked, maybe a tad to much of main character's worries

comparison to the events of today

Trite plot— at best. The narrator is very good — but overall— wasted hours of my life I’ll never get back!

So done with this series!
