Narrado por: Alex Wyndham

A royal marriage is in the making. But not everyone is happy with the match....

1676, Leiden, the Netherlands

Two years have passed since Master Mercurius last found himself embroiled in a murder case, and he has welcomed the peaceful interval. But now a letter has arrived for him from Stadhouder William of Orange. And a letter from William can only mean one thing - Mercurius is wanted for another mission.

William has decided he wants to marry. And he has his sights set on Princess Mary, the niece of King Charles II of England.

William has decided that Mercurius, as an ordained minister, is the perfect person to travel to England and secure the hand of the princess on his behalf.

But when Mercurius arrives at the English court it becomes clear that there are powerful people opposed to the match. And as the Stadhouder's representative, Mercurius himself could be in their firing line....

Can Mercurius complete his mission with his life - and his honour - intact?

Second book in… I love it

The dry wit and impressive story details is delightful
I’ve not grown bored so far.
On to #3!

Another solid story and performance.

This series is quickly becoming one of my favorite in the Historical Fiction/Mystery category.

Excellent entertaining short series

So sad this short series has ended. Really enjoyed it on all levels. Please record more

Wonderful humor!

Perfect reader for a highly entertaining book. A challenging mystery, unique voice, original in every way. Master Mercurius is the drollest narrator I’ve ever heard.

More of the same

Honestly, it's the narration that carries these stories. More than frustrating that the author hasn't explained the reasons for Mercurius' dual identity (allegiance). Here, seemed fairly fluent in English for a guy who knew none at the beginning of the book.
