Publisher's summary

After their gruelling journeys to Galicia and Scilly, Baldwin and Simon are at last back on the English mainland. Eager to get home, they set off on horseback but only get as far as Cardinham on Bodmin Moor. Here, they are detained by the castellan who requires their help to solve two murders on the estate. The first victim is a widow, found dead with her two children. The second is Serlo, the miller, who has recently been discovered embezzling castle money taken in tolls. As Baldwin and Simon begin a double investigation, they must look beneath the village friendships and family loyalties to find an evil killer and secure Cardinham's safety.

Very good

The storyline was very good and I loved the twist at the end. The book would have been perfect but for the narrator's female voices! But don't let that stop you from getting this book you'll be glad you did 🙂

Mystery in a medieval setting

A very enjoyable mystery. It kept me guessing. There’s so much backstory and background to both the characters and the medieval setting that I got happily lost in all the wonderful details. The mystery was simply the icing on the cake…Arguably, the narrator’s pitch for female voices is absurd and somewhat jarring. But the rest and all other voices are done very well, so much so that it rather makes up, for all the women speaking through their noses. After a long time, a medieval mystery on Audible that was time spent completely enchanted - every minute of it.
