About this listen

It is the juiciest piece of gossip the citizens of Norwich have heard for a long time. The ruthless Richard de Fontenel is himself the victim of robbery. In addition to two priceless golden elephants that he was using to lure the beautiful lady Adelaide into marriage, his steward Hermer is also missing. Onto the scene arrive soldier Ralph Delchard and lawyer Gervase Bret who are meant to adjudicate on a land dispute, but they also become involved in the hunt for the thief. But is Hermer the steward really missing or has something altogether more sinister happened?

the whole series has been a joy to listen to, so brill
brilliantly read, all the characters came alive so vividly. M Marsden had a clever mind, able to weave complex story lines so extraordinarily well, some outcomes not guessed until the very last page. I have so enjoyed dipping into the glorious world, I want to go back as soon as possible. Well met Sir, well met
