Publisher's Summary
1662: Jakob Kuisl, the hangman of a village in the Alps, receives a letter from his sister calling him to the imperial city of Regensburg, where a gruesome sight awaits him: her throat has been slit. When the city constable discovers Kuisl alongside the corpse, he locks him in a dungeon, where Kuisl will experience firsthand the torture he’s administered himself for years.
As nightmares assail him, Kuisl can only hope to prevail on the Regensburg executioner to show mercy to a fellow hangman. Kuisl’s steely daughter, Magdalena, and her young doctor paramour, Simon, rush to Regensburg to try to save Jakob, enlisting an underground network of beggars, a beer-brewing monk, and an Italian playboy for help. Navigating the labyrinthine city, they learn there is much more behind the false accusation than a personal vendetta: a plan that will endanger the entire German Empire.
Chock-full of fascinating historical detail, The Beggar King brings to vibrant life another tremendous tale of an unlikely hangman and his tough-as-nails daughter, confirming Pötzsch’s mettle as a storyteller at the height of his powers.

"A Gripping Story"
I very much enjoyed this story and some of the terrifying circumstances described. My daughter and I have listened to all three of the Audio Books and this book left me very concerned for the well being of my favorite characters (no spoiler's here). Suffice it to say that Oliver Potzch once again delivers a very satisfying story with your favorite characters and Grover Gardner has the most excellent voice acting. I highly recommend these series to anyone that enjoys mysteries and imagining what life must have been like in the 1600's for a Hangman and his family.
Well done!0 of 0 people found this review helpful -

"Really enjoyed it"
I can't say enough good things about this audiobook. I stumbled onto The Hangman's Daughter by accident and really enjoyed it, which led me to the Dark Monk which I didn't enjoy so much. I expected that this one would go down from there since that's the way it seems to go with most books, but boy was I glad I took the chance! This one was as good as the first, and didn't leave all the characters separated as the second one did (that's what I hated about it) It even ended really well and has me wondering what will happen next to our intrepid heroes.

"love torcher and medicen. the perfect mistery !!!"
Where does The Beggar King rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?it is a book that i can re read over and over . i love the characters and plot it is very well written and believable.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Beggar King?um at the end when you heat the athors notes you get to hear some of his fealing about the places and cheters. there are to many page tuning moments to decide on just one in the actual plot and i don't like spoilers.
Who was the most memorable character of The Beggar King and why?Magdalena
Any additional comments?i the reassure that went in to the book. the medical knowledge and uses are fascinating and the ideal that some one payed to brake (torch or) people would also be the one that puts them back together.
