Summary

"An immersive and entertaining read" -Alistair Mabbot, the Herald

The year is 1317, and young squire Benedict Russell has joined the English-held garrison of Berwick-upon-Tweed after the spectacular Scottish victory at Bannockburn three years earlier.

Serious and self-doubting, he can't wait for his time there to come to an end. Living on the disputed territory between Scotland and England is a precarious existence, and as the Scots draw ever closer and the English king does nothing to stop them, Benedict finds himself in a race against time to solve the brutal murder of a young girl and find the traitor who lurks within Berwick's walls.

I look forward to the next instalment

I thought this novel well written and could see the story unfolding like watching a film. Benedict made me want to slap him at times but he was an interesting character and I had to remind myself the narrative depicts the 13th century and before becoming a squire he had been brought up by monks. I was very pleased he cared about his horse!
Additionally I liked the fact that Lucy, the main female character, was a cripple instead of a beautiful girl and that she was intelligent and strong.
The author did a fine job of describing the life of rich and poor and enabling the reader/listener to see the characters as real human beings, a mix of good and bad, including the killer of Alice (Alys?)
I also enjoyed the narration by Matthew Lloyd Davies and hope he narrates the next novel.
