About this listen

It is the year 1586. England is awash with traitors, plotting to assassinate the Queen and bring about a foreign invasion. The young physician Christoval Alvarez, a refugee from the horrors of the Portuguese Inquisition, is coerced into becoming a code-breaker and agent in Sir Francis Walsingham's secret service. In the race to thwart the plot, who will triumph - the ruthless conspirators or the equally ruthless State?

This is an entertaining and well written historical story but every sentence is spoken on a sigh.

not the best narration

What a disappointment! This book appears well written and interesting, but it is read by such a boring reader that I couldn't get beyond chapter 3. Whilst I really like Anne Swinfen as an author, I will certainly avoid anything read by Jan Cramer from now on.
