About this audiobook
1555. A priest has been stabbed to death in the village of St Botolph, his body left to rot by the roadside – and Jack Blackjack stands accused of his murder. As well as clearing his name, Jack has his own reasons for wanting to find out who really killed the priest, but this is an investigation where nothing is as it seems.
Was it a random attack by a desperate outlaw, or do the answers lie in the murdered priest’s past? As he questions those who knew the dead man, Jack is faced with a number of conflicting accounts – and it’s clear that not everyone can be telling him the whole truth.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A delightful audio story it is! I thoroughly enjoyed the plot and the characters in the story. Most of all, the language was so appropriate to time of background which shows the author's indepth knowledge of the culture and time. The voice actor was excellent!
