I love it!

I love Woodbury's Gareth and Gwen mysteries and this is the perfect next step in the story.

Loved it!!

I've loved all her books, happy to hear the proper pronunciation of names and places!!

Good Talr

Enjoyed learning more about other characters in Gwrn and Gareth's world. Dublin was an interesting backdrop for the story.

Godfrid the Dane takes a turn to Sleuthing

*Disclosure: I received a copy of this book at no cost to me, from the Author, with no requirement to write a review let alone a positive one. My review is my own honest opinion.*

I so hope this becomes the start of a new series!! As a character introduced in the Gareth & Gwen Medieval Mystery series we have met Godfrid previously, and if the other readers are anything like me, we’ve liked him! I did. To see him in his own milieu and dealing with the intrigues of his own country’s royal court - he is a Prince of the Dublin Danes after all - was so interesting and attention gripping, that this book just sailed on by in no time at all.

Connell, the Irish Ambassador and “spy” for the King of Leinster - who we’ve also met with Gareth & Gwen in previous books (and, likeable ? Yes, but he’s a bit of a puzzler) is also front and shares the center stage with Godfrid, and brings with him a new character who you will find a delightful addition to the cast.

The Mystery at the heart of the story is a good one, well played, and I did NOT guess whodunnit - great ending! Wrapped in history and learning new things about history. What a wonderful combo.

The narration is great. I enjoy Laurel Schroeder’s cadence and voicing of the characters. The books she narrates that I listen to come alive for me with her reading.

I highly recommend all fans of this series read/listen to this book even though our beloved Gwen (and Gareth) are absent.

Filled with history...

Sarah does not disappoint! Well researched as always. These characters come to life for me. Thanks Sarah (and Laurel)!

Disappointed

I couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes due to the horrible narration. Very disappointed.
