About this listen

Jetta needs to escape…

As a kitchen maid who has finally managed to escape abuse at her master’s hand, she finds herself at the scene of a crime. Now she's involved in a murder. How many times can her life be turned upside down? Never knowing her parentage, she has struggled alone for too long.

Dominic is a friend of the king…

Enjoying a peaceful life was never his choice. He wanted a change from the monotony. But finding his Farrier murdered, with only a slip of a girl as the likely culprit, was possibly taking things too far.

But murder isn’t always what it seems…

Sometimes it can be a revelation, introducing strangers who would never have met and revealing secrets kept hidden. Yet murder is still murder. And being arrested for one you had nothing to do with brings more than a few catastrophes, as well as new friends and strange paths to discover.

With the Battle of Bosworth looming…

Murder also becomes a terror spread across the fields, the blood and bodies of the slain. And with it, a new king and many changes that affect the country.

Jetta narrowly escapes one trauma after another. As murder and mayhem ensue, unlikely alliances come to her rescue. But where does that leave an impoverished kitchen maid?

Anther enjoyable rags to riches story from Barbara Gaskill Denvil set at the time of Bosworth. The links to her first book were subtle and endearing. The core of the story was very much like the first book even down to the endearment “little one”. The constant visits to the various prisons also gets repeated. I look forward to listening to the third book and hope there is enough variation to entice me to read subsequent books in the series. The Narration is again perfect.

Another rags to riches story

This is an author who really enjoyed writing the story. A good story with plenty of historical details but never dull. Plenty of humour.

Great fun
