Entertaining and enjoyable

This series is quickly becoming my favorite—good characters, interesting stories, and enough humor to laugh out loud. Great book!

Great apprehension

The main theme is apprehension of a venture that is out of character for moral philosopher. He travels on knowing he is in danger but forgets the danger when his heart is broken. Another life experience that is out of character.

Love this series!

I got the first book from my library but will get the rest of this series on Audible because these are books I want to own and could easily listen to several times. The main character is very interesting, the writing both witty and smart and the narrator-outstanding. It helps if you like history and a main character with a wide -reaching vocabulary. This is the most Interesting and different historical mystery series I have read or listened to in several years .Well done!

Better than the first

I really enjoyed the first book of the series, but this one was even better. Character development was great. Never a dull moment. Intelligently written and great narrator performance. I highly recommend it.

excellent series

Really enjoying this series. The narrator is brilliant and the humorous asides and conversational tone make it most enjoyable and refreshingly different than the usual medieval mysteries.
Audible please record more!
