Engaging!

The narrator really brings the chracters to life giving them each thier invdividual voice. Particularly like his Richard - clever, confident and charismatic.

A Queen’s Executioner

Another historical adventure during Tudor England. There is a nicely drawn plot revolving around the one time heir to the English Throne, Edward Courtenay, and an explanation for his demise that could very well have been possible. Emilio stands by Jack who is struggling still to deal with his time in the Tower. Good listen and it went by far too quickly, now waiting for the next one to be launched on audio.

Action and Adventure

The Fitzwarren brothers are on a mission for the Crown whether they like it or not. Forced to return to Italy Richard is charged with the task of removing Edward Courtenay from the line of heirs to the English Throne. Jack Fitzwarren has been mistakenly identified as the likely assassin and finds himself once again in peril due to Richard’s plans. Nice stand alone story.
