An enjoyable listen
Nicely paced, good to follow next chapter of familiar characters who are reassuringly, in essence either good or bad, historical note at end was very good to hear, giving the context for the story.

Excellent story and narrator.
I’m always wary about three books on audible but this one is really enjoyable and the narrator was excellent. Great combination and thank you very much to both of you.

A good listen !
Another story in the lives of the women in 11th century London. A good plot and also an excellent explanation of the history of the times.

Another Good Story!
Mediaeval town life was mostly dirty and dangerous but Magdalen and Bel triumph again.

Prostitutes in the English 1200's.
it was so nice to hear about Prositutes in England in the 1200's who weren't all mistreated.
These ladies were like family who looked after each other.
Most were intelligent and several had disabilities.
So when ladies defend and support each other anything is possible.

Gutted
Listened to the first two books and enjoyed them. Can't believe that the 3rd and 5th installments of the series can't be downloaded ?!?! What's going on Audible... ?

A compelling read. Confused ending
Initially enjoyable . Like her books and good narration. A little confusing at the end.

Too much information
I didn't want to hear so much about sexual activity in brothels. Émile Zola managed to portray all the vices of Second Empire Paris without the detail in "Nana"!
The author's final explanation of her view of this period of history is biased and dumbed down. I wish she hadn't "dissed" David I (and thereby Scotland, my country) in a throwaway line, which amply demonstrates her crude appreciation of history.
The plot is convoluted and contrived. I'm still not sure I know "whodunnit", after listening twice.
Perhaps the hook that induced me to persevere with another book was my curiosity about the "back stories" of main characters- did the ridiculously named madam murder her husband, her lover, or both? Why did the vindictive wife, bumped off early on, to nobody's regret, marry a man she has always despised? (The seeds of that particular mystery were sewn in book one.)

great book
I really have enjoyed both these books . My only criticism is that there are so many characters that at times it got a little confusing but over all a good story well narrated. Fans of Candace Robb and Peter Elliot should enjoy these.
