Queen of a Distant Hive

Fridgyth the Herb-Wife, Book 2

By: Theresa Tomlinson

Narrated by: Danielle Cohen

When an unwelcome visitor arrives at Hild's monastery, Fridgyth the herb-wife is forced to hold her tongue. The widow of the fierce Mercian king, who once brought death and destruction to the coastal community, is an uneasy sight for many. Although everyone is thankful for Northumbria's fragile peace, painful memories are still fresh, and some can think of nothing but revenge.

A young tanner is found dead after a mysterious liaison - his brother is nowhere to be seen, and the boy who used to help him is terrified to speak. While the abbess is busy trying to secure an ongoing peace for the kingdom, Fridgyth starts her own investigation, though she has no idea what she is dealing with or the danger she is in....

Great historical narrated beautifully.

Great historical narrated beautifully. I love a well told historical story with accurately related subjects & with well-wrought characters. The narration added all the more. I want more, please.

Good mystery series.

Love a medieval murder mystery! And I love that the protagonist is an herbalist and pagan!

Excellent

I have enjoyed this series and I hope more are coming. It’s a good story, good characters and an excellent narrator.

Wonderful reader! Detailed story line. Fully developed characters.

This is the second book by Theresa Tomlinson that I have listened to and was very disappointed to find no more of her many books in Audible. Such rich tapestries of character and story.

Interesting

Interesting to step back and picture what a different time and place might be like.
