Publisher's Summary
The era of the Tudors was one of danger, intrigue, conspiracy, and, above all, spies.
The summer of 1553 is a time of danger and deceit. Brendan Prescott, an orphan, has been reared in the household of the powerful Dudley family. Brought to court, Prescott finds himself sent on an illicit mission to the king’s brilliant but enigmatic sister, Princess Elizabeth. But Brendan is soon compelled to work as a double agent by Elizabeth’s protector, William Cecil, who promises in exchange to help him unravel the secret of his own mysterious past.
A dark plot swirls around Elizabeth’s quest to discover the truth about the ominous disappearance of her seriously ill brother, King Edward VI. With only a bold stable boy and an audacious lady-in-waiting at his side, Brendan plunges into a ruthless gambit of half-truths, lies, and murder.
Filled with the intrigue and pageantry of Tudor England, The Tudor Secret is the first book in the Elizabeth I Spymaster Chronicles.

"Great Book! But Where's The Second Book Audible?"
Where does The Tudor Secret rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?Solid story that ranks in the top 40% of the 100's of books I have listened to.
Have you listened to any of Steve West’s other performances before? How does this one compare?I have not listened to Steve West before but he did a great job.
Who was the most memorable character of The Tudor Secret and why?Peregrine of course was the best character.
Any additional comments?For the folks at Audible, if you offer a great price for "the first book of a series" make sure you have the rest of the books.

"Entertaining, "what if?" Tudor story"
Any additional comments?A good book, set amongst the factual events of Lady Jane Grey's brief rise this is a good story however the main story line is pure fiction. A good listen, my preferences lean toward more historically accurate events, but this was entertaining. The imagery and nuances of the age are spot on.

"Liked this pretty much, but cranky at Audible"
Book pretty good though sometimes very slow. However, not happy with Audible for offering this as "first in a series" but not offering any of the other books in the series!
