The Merchant's Mark

Gil Cunningham Mysteries

De: Pat McIntosh

Narrado por: Andrew Watson

The third Gil Cunningham murder mystery set in Medieval Glasgow. The barrel should have contained books - instead it held treasure and a severed head...Gil Cunningham and his old acquaintance, Glasgow merchant Augie Morison, expecting a delivery of books from the Low Countries, report the gruesome substitute to the Provost, and at the inquest the next morning Morison is accused of the murder and imprisoned.

He appeals to Gil, who sets out with his friend and future father in law Maistre Pierre, the French master-mason, to find the treasure's owner, trace the barrel and identify the dead man. The trail they follow leads them from the court of James IV at Stirling via a cooper's yard in Linlithgow, to another death on the bare slopes of the Pentland Hills.

"McIntosh"s characterizations and period detail are first rate." ( Publisher's Weekly)

Audiobook

The novel and performance were great. Unfortunately, there’s a clicking noise which is scattered throughout the reading, but that won’t stop me from listening again.

Scot’s Slang

Not written for American English speakers. Hard to determine what was being said because of my unfamiliarity with the language. So busy trying to figure out what was meant by the context, the plot was being lost.
