Publisher's Summary

On a bitter winter evening in 1356, Matthew Bartholomew and Brother Michael arrive in Lincoln - Michael to accept an honour from the cathedral, and Bartholomew to look for the woman he wants to marry. It is not long before they learn that the friary in which they are staying is not the safe haven they imagine - one guest has already been murdered.

It soon emerges that the dead man was holding the Hugh Chalice, a Lincoln relic with a curiously bloody history. Bartholomew and Michael are soon drawn into a web of murder, lies and suspicion in a city where neither knows who can be trusted...

    "Loved It"

    This book is jammed with plot twists, well developed characters, and historical details. This time Matthew and Michael are in the city of Lincoln trying to stay alive while the city simmers with violence. Andrew Wincott did a fantastic job with many different voices. I enjoyed this book thoroughly!!

    "Another Great Historical Mystery"

    I really like Matthew Bartholomew mysteries and think Susanna Gregory is a great writer with the historical training to make the story believable and grounded in historical accuracy.The details of Medieval Life are wonderful. This is not one my my favorite Matthew Bartholomew's as I did not care much for the Lincoln setting prefering the ones set in Cambridge instead. Still it is always great to have another one on AUdible. I do wish they would get the Thomas Chaloners which are available on Audible UK but not in the US. I enjoyed it a great deal and am eagerly awaiting the next Matthew Bartholomew on Audible

    "Atmosphere and personalities"
    Where does The Tarnished Chalice rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Near the top of my listening list


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    The storytelling pulls you in, settles you down, and keeps you turning the pages as the different story lines develop and then began to come together


    Which character – as performed by Andrew Wincott – was your favorite?

    Brother Michael


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I'm a big fan of Susanna Gregory and my reaction is that I want more of this wonderful series on audio!

    "Disappointed"

    I was looking forward to this book as I love the genre and the description sounded intriguing. However, the book was long, boring and repetitive. The subplot about Matilde was very unsatisfying to me. The narrator was very good, though, and kept me listening to the bitter end.
