Completely lacking in the humor, cohesion & empathy of the other books in this series. Filled with gratuitous gore. Judging from his lack of inflection or emotion, the narrator may have had a pre frontal lobotomy.

When my sister recommended this book, she warned me it looked like a bodice ripper, but said not to be fooled, that it was excellent. I'm glad I listened to her because this book has it all. Murder, conspiracy, history, betrayal, insanity, it's all here, wrapped in a beautiful narration by Emma Gregory. I just purchased the next two in the series and cannot wait to listen to them. Alexandra Walsh has woven together fact with fiction and told the tale so cleverly one finds it difficult to stop. Just wonderful.
As a long time Audible listener, I rarely write reviews but this book is so good!

Took an eternity to get to the plot. Mired in religious preaching. Cannot recommend it

I like this author, this seriess and most everything about it except the unlikelyhood of the situations. If you are able to look past this, you will love the Lane books. Narration by Hanrietta Meire is spot on!

Plodding, boring, endless. This book went on forever. Not even the excellent narration could save it. Unfortunately, a decent story is bogged down by cumbersome, unnecessary dialog and length.

Interesting but not as compelling as the other books. As always, battle scenes are well choreographed & the author continues to develop the story, characters & relationships skillfully.

This story is actually quite good, compelling in fact. But the reader was so bad, it was difficult to get through the book. He emphasized every sentence, so the syntax was consistently off. Very distracting, really detracted from the listening experience.

In this fifth installment of the Mathew Corbett series, Robert McCammon hits the nail on the head yet again. The story is good, if somewhat unlikely in a couple of spots, but that isn't enough to dissuade this reader from enjoying the book immensely. The reader is also very good. Worth a listen.

Good characterizations, strong character development, a compelling story. Story unfolds nicely. Excellent narration. I've enjoyed every Thomas Silkstone book I've listened to.
