Poor editing. David Thorpe would get 5 for Performance.

Who ever did the editing put key parts of the last third of Chapter 9 in the last third of Chapter 10. Makes the listening very confusing. Until that occurred, this was my favorite installment in the series.

Powerfully moving and compelling

Revisado: 05-21-23

I “read” the series through Audible; but no matter how you get it, this is her best so far. Matt is outstanding in his characterizations and there are a number of characters, male, female, adult, and children, that he has to voice. He gives each his own tone, nuance, and cadence. A superb job that shows he is a master of his craft.
Because of my profession, the hanging of a. Innocent man by means of a quasi-judicial proceeding was difficult to get through. However, it was a necessary plot device and comes together in the end. The author is not one for gratuitous violence.
Regular readers of the series will be glad to know that the characters are as one would expect, like a meeting of old friends one has not seen for a time. They are not stale or “expected”. There is even (faint spoiler alert) a soft side to Sergeant Catchpoll in this story. As usual, and for obvious reasons, the greatest character development from the last story is Young Walkelin. He is becoming more and more competent, confident, and Catchpollesq. A pleasurable part of the series is watching him grow and develop.
The story is interesting, does not drag, and moves at a good clip. There are two female characters that I wish could become
semi-regulars but because of geographical constraints in the time period of the series, most likely will not. I shall not give out more since I do not want to give away plot points or clues.
The author has written a number of these stories; some better than others. None are mediocre. For sheer power and impact, this one is the best.
For full disclosure and understanding, I am a criminal defense attorney, have not, and will not be compensated for this review, and paid full price for the Audible download.

Another solid hit

Revisado: 06-11-22

Sarah Hawkswood has served up another great story populated by the usual fine characters as well as a new one; but I will not need a spoiler alert. The story is like being a ball in a pin ball machine. First you are certain you have figured it out and then you are ricocheted into another direction with the latest clue. Catchpoll continues to delight and makes one wish there were more blunt, plain spoken men like him in our time. Walkelin continues to grow personally and professionally.
The only issue I had was that some of the minor characters sounded (to my old American ears) like Catchpoll and it was confusing until I finally realized which character it was who was speaking. The voice actor had his work cut out for him. Off hand, I count 7 or so female characters and 12 or so male characters. He did a very credible job. Overall, an excellent addition to an outstanding series.
