About this listen

Nicolas Picard is riding home from Exeter when he's attacked by a snarling wildcat. Yet, when the body is found, there are lacerations on his neck put there by a human hand. He is involved in a land dispute and his wife claims to be the benefactor on his behalf. Picard's mistress emerges to stake her claim then a third woman—wife of the deceased original owner of the land—comes forward. Ralph Delchard and Gervase Bret have three human wildcats trying to tear out each other's throats. They wonder if one of the women committed the murder to get her hands on the land, but the root of the mystery lies far deeper than mere avarice.

I waited a long time for Audible to finally have this book recorded and narrated beautifully by David Thorpe. I seem to recognise the voice of someone who was once an archbishop of Canterbury?? Edward Marston writes wonderful mysteries with great accuracy about whichever time they're set in and this was no exception. I loved it!
