About this listen

Introducing reluctant spy and friar-sleuth Brother Rodric Chandler in the first of a brand new medieval mystery series.

London. July, 1399. As rumors spread that his ambitious cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, has returned from exile in France, King Richard's grip on the English throne grows ever more precarious. Meanwhile, the body of a young woman is discovered at Dowgate sluice. When it's established that the dead woman was a novice from nearby Barking Abbey, the coroner calls in his friend, Brother Chandler, to investigate. Who would cut the throat of a young nun and throw her remains in the river? And what was she doing outside the confines of the priory in the first place?

Secretly acting as a spy for Henry Bolingbroke, Chandler is torn by conflicting loyalties and agonizing self-doubt. As the king's cousin marches towards Wales and England teeters on the brink of civil war, Chandler's investigations will draw him into affairs of state - and endanger not only himself but all those around him.

I found it hard to keep track of which character was which. No substantial character introduction.

Confusing

The narrator was awful. He seemed to be trying deliberately to annoy the listener from undecipherable mumbling to almost shouting. I was constantly mashing volume up and down. Story might be good but who could pay attention with narration as it was.

Unfathomable
