In the tradition of Antonia Fraser and Alison Weir, prize-winning historian Helen Castor delivers a compelling, eye-opening examination of women and power in England, witnessed through the lives of six women who exercised power against all odds - and one who never got the chance. Exploring the narratives of the Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Margaret of Anjou, and other "she-wolves," as well as that of the Nine Days' Queen, Lady Jane Grey, Castor invokes a magisterial discussion of how much - and how little - has changed through the centuries.

Story
In the tradition of Antonia Fraser and Alison Weir, prize-winning historian Helen Castor delivers a compelling, eye-opening examination of women and power in England, witnessed through the lives of six women who exercised power against all odds - and one who never got the chance. Exploring the narratives of the Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Margaret of Anjou, and other "she-wolves," as well as that of the Nine Days' Queen, Lady Jane Grey, Castor invokes a magisterial discussion of how much - and how little - has changed through the centuries.

Why change narrators?
The first books in the series were narrated by Judith Boyd. Changing was a mistake. The way this narrator performed the voice of Harriet was so grating that I stopped listening half the way through -I just couldn’t take it anymore.

Twice as long As it Should have Been
Too many additions to the primary plot that ended up being superfluous rather than interesting.

Returned it early even though free
The action is started by the protagonist acting like an idiot with little rational motive so there’s no sympathy/empathy/ or even caring what happens to her.
The other characters can’t save the book either

good storyline
I have enjoyed the series and this book was also engaging. However, I have had a difficult time sticking with the books since Judith Boyd is no longer narrating. Although I enjoy the storyline and the characters , it is very difficult to complete the book since the narration makes it very difficult to identify the characters who are speaking. I get annoyed-but I do get to the ending. I do hope Judith Boyd comes back at some point in this series to do the narration again.

Very enjoyable!
The weaving of its story and its characters; the characters well defined by the narrator; the flow. All resulted in a very enjoyable listen! Both author and narrator are exceptional!

Love this series
This is an old fashioned village mystery with some slight character development of the main characters. The focus, though, is the mystery and who done it.
