About this listen

Daniel Pursglove Book Three: On the run from the King, Daniel returns to his childhood home - with his own score to settle.

From the stark Yorkshire landscape to the dark underbelly of Jacobean London, Daniel Pursglove's new mission sees him fall prey to a ruthless copycat killer...

London, 1607. As dawn breaks, Daniel Pursglove rides north, away from the watchful eye of the King and his spies.

He returns, disguised, to his childhood home in Yorkshire - with his own score to settle. The locals have little reason to trust a prying stranger, and those who remember Daniel do so with contempt.

When a body is found with rope burns about the neck, Daniel falls under suspicion. On the run, across the country, he is pursued by a ruthless killer whose victims all share the same gallows mark. Are these the crimes of someone with a cruel personal vendetta - or has Daniel become embroiled in a bigger, and far more sinister, conspiracy?

A new river of treason is rising, flowing from the fields of Yorkshire right to the heart of the King's court...

Love this series, brilliantly narrated and well written, looking forward to the next one!

Love it

it was enjoyable following the twists and turns as Daniel's tale continues. I recommend having read the previous 2 novels as, otherwise, much would be lost. Great narrator!

Intricate plot, colourful episodes

Daniel Pursglove is followed by dark shadowy figures as he continues to seek the answers.

Such an improvement on the first two books in the series because the change of narrator make a world of difference.
The first two books are quite enjoyable but in truth are almost ruined by very poor narration. However, much of this one relies on knowing what went before so I would caution against taking it first.
The plotline is still convoluted & the telling of it sometimes a little drawn out but I enjoyed the detail all that involves. I don't think I'd have bought this one if the narrator hadn't changed. But I shall definitley buy the next.

Much better than the first two Pursglove books
