About this listen

A sleuth to rival Shardlake or Cadfael - a mystery that will chill your blood.

'Transports your body and soul to another time and place' CRAIG RUSSELL
'A delight on all levels . . . engaging and moving' MANDA SCOTT
'A truly memorable and exciting read' HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW

Banff, Scotland in the 1620s. A young man walks unsteadily through the streets. Is he just drunk or is there something more sinister happening? When he collapses in front of two sisters on that dark, wet night, the women guess that he's been poisoned.

His body is discovered in the house of Alexander Seaton - a fallen minister, the discovery of whose clandestine love affair has left him disgraced.

Why was the body in Seaton's house? And why would anyone want to murder this likeable young man? Seaton sets out to find answers, embarking on a journey not only through the darkest part of other men's souls, but also his own.

A must for fans of Rory Clements and SJ Parris.

Given that historical crime fiction is now a crowded field covering a multitude of eras, countries and occupations it is refreshing to find one that rises above the formulaic and cliché risen. A tale of interest, well drawn characters and pace. A well chosen voice actor who carries all the characters well.

Fabulous

Well structured, gripping story with great characterisation. Clever story development that gives very few clues as to the murderous perpetrator only made clear at the end. Wonderful read (or listen).

The brilliant narrator

This book and the three others in the Alexander Seaton series are a brilliant read particularly if you are interested in Scottish history. They bring to life a remarkable way what it was like to live in Scotland in the 1620s and 1630s, and Scotland’s relationship with the rest of Europe during the 30 years war. Whilst I had heard about this before this book really helps you feel what it must have been like to live during Europe’s most destructive war. Even if you are not particularly interested in history this is a brilliantly written series.

Fantastic story of Scotland in the 1620s
