Well-written, intriguing, realistic

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!

5 stars!!! WooHoo!!!

Strap in and enjoy the ride! Great book with a twisty-turney plot, superb narration, and a series that keeps getting better and better.
I strongly suggest that you get this series. You won't regret it.

Excellent

An amazing but also sad story. A tragedy that goes in today with children and young people. Elia is amazing. What a strong woman. Bill is her hero.

They just keep getting better!

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.

Love it

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!
