February 1355: Oxford explodes in one of the most serious riots of its history. Fearing for their lives, the scholars flee, and some choose the University at Cambridge as their temporary refuge. But they don't remain safe for long. Within hours of their arrival, the first of their number dies, followed quickly by a second. When Matthew Bartholomew begins to investigate the deaths, he uncovers evidence that the Oxford riot was not a case of random violence, but part of a carefully orchestrated plot.

I have listened to the first 10 books in the Matthew Bartholomew series, one after the other, and thoroughly enjoyed them. David Thorpe has the most wonderful ability to give a different voice to each character and recall them from book to book. I was determined to read the entire series. However, despite a very good voice (and no disrespect intended, Andrew Wincott reading books 11 and 12 was a great disappointment and I could not listen to them, jumping to book 13 and no doubt missing vital info in the Matthew Bartholomew saga. It is like missing an old friend! Any chance of getting Mr Thorpe to read these books?
