About this listen
It is the year of our Lord 1363. And in the cathedral city of York, people are dying in mysterious circumstances. But there seems to be a common thread - the herbal remedies dispensed by Nicholas Wilton, Master Apothecary. The first victim is an anonymous pilgrim. But when a highborn nobleman dies after taking the same potion the authorities decide to act.
Dispatched to York, in disguise, to unravel the mystery, Owen Archer, former Captain of Archers, apprentices himself to the Apothecary. But it is from Wilton’s beautiful wife Lucie that he must learn the arcane secrets of the trade. Slowly but surely, Owen begins to uncover the truth. And when the deaths continue, he realises to his horror he must count Lucie among the suspects.

Terrific narration. Great story.
I found it hard to keep all the characters and their pasts in my mind - but I listen in bed so that could be the reason. I loved the voices - so much so that I had to remind myself that it was all the same narrator. It got more ‘gritty’ than I expected, coming from a background of Cadfael, as I do - not the best for sleep, but a riveting story. I’ll definitely listen to more of this series.

Didn’t enjoy the narration at all
I should have listened to more of the sample, as I didn’t enjoy the narration. IMO the narrator had a lisp. Luckily, I had bought the book as well and could read it instead. The story was good, but I found it a little slow going in places.

LOVE THIS SERIES, AND NARRATOR,
I have been listening to this series repeatedly for twenty years now. I love the experience of being in the fourteenth century, all the characters and especially the books narrated by Stephen Thorne, who is one of my favourite narrators.
