De: Sarah Woodbury

Narrado por: Tom Mumford

Rhys and Catrin become embroiled in murder when King Edward summons all the bards of Wales ...

September 1284. Catrin and Rhys travel with the royal court to Overton-on-Dee where King Edward has called a thousand Welsh bards to a royal eisteddfod, a music festival, in honor of his conquest of Wales. Every bardd in Wales has been commanded to attend.

But the menacing gaze of the king has tensions running high, since his goal is to uncover dissidence and to rein in the power of the bards. When one of the chief contestants turns up dead with a forbidden song stuffed into his mouth, it’s up to Rhys and Catrin to catch his killer—even if it means putting themselves between their people and the wrath of the English king.

Bardd is the fifth book in The Welsh Guard Mysteries.

Great

The only thing on this interesting story is I wish I could have heard the Bards sing! Just image. So sad this is the last book so far in this series. So much more that can happen! Great story and narration

Mystery with history

Interesting mystery set in historical context. I appreciate the author’s historical clarifications at the end where he states where he took creative license. A solid story.
