Summary
When a young nun dies of a fever in the town of Beverley in the summer of 1365, she is buried quickly for fear of the plague. But one year later a woman appears, talking of relic-trading and miracles. She claims to be the dead nun resurrected. Murder follows swiftly in her wake, and the worried Archbishop of York asks Owen Archer to investigate.
Travelling to Leeds and Scarborough to unearth clues, Owen finds only a trail of corpses, until a meeting with Geoffrey Chaucer, spy for King Edward, links the nun with mercenary soldiers and the powerful Percy family. Meanwhile, in York, the apothecary Lucie Wilton has won the mysterious woman's confidence. But the troubled secrets which start to emerge will endanger them all....

Slow burner but worth the Effort
Took a while for me to become invested in this. but once I got past the first confusing 5mins, it was very good. Well narrated. A dark and twisted medieval tale.

The Nun's Tale
This was another good book from the Owen Archer series, though quite a disturbing story.

Twisty Plot
Excellent misdirection keeps you guessing about the killer right to the end. Stephen Thorne gives a wonderful reading . The historical research is excellent.

Good Narrative, great character
Well written, evocative of the era, good story, well read although some characters voices blend into each other.
Love the series and even though I have read them all before its great to hear them.

A convoluted tale
A resurrected nun with the shawl of St Mary? Entertaining and suitably twisty turny. The main characters are warm and sympathetic and everything is tied up satisfyingly at the end.
