Christopher Rowe has no idea who he is. After being shipwrecked in Devonshire, he wakes up alone, his memories gone. Villagers tell him he was possessed by an unseen evil, and only became conscious after being visited by the local witch. As Christopher tries to get his bearings, he realizes his current state may be far from coincidence. Dark events have been happening in this corner of Britain - village children are disappearing without a trace. There are whispers that the malevolent ghost of the White Lady has returned to steal the children away, one by one, and consume their souls.

Upon her arrival, however, Emily learns that Griswold has been attacked and is now in a coma, and no one knows anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch.

Love this narrator

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would -- and have -- recommended this series to everyone I know. Several family members got the first book for Christmas this year. First, the narrator is amazing and really draws you into the story. Our family feels like we know the protagonist, Christopher Rowe. The Blackthorn Key audiobooks are fun, exciting and make car rides infinitely more enjoyable.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Mark of the Plague?

All of Christopher's code breaking and near misses and entertaining.

Which character – as performed by Ray Panthaki – was your favorite?

Christopher Rowe.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Totally.

Any additional comments?

I've noticed that Ray Panthaki isn't narrating the next book. I have yet to listen, but I'd love him to return for subsequent books. For me, his narration is half of the enjoyment.

Wow, what a twist!

I really love the way these books are written. Not only is it history and mystery, it's true friendship in action and in the end finding family in the place that was there all along, just to close to see. Have to admit, there for a bit, I was afraid my kids had gotten themselves in a little too deep to dig out of....but, nope...Thank goodness!

good historical mystery

Set against the backdrop of the great plague, this book is basically a well crafter mystery. the reader is provided with enough clues to solve it. there are also a lot of loveble characters including Brigitte, the dove, and some very believable villains. great read with a bit of history thrown in.a
