    About this audiobook

    A mysterious book of prophecies, written by a sixth century Irish monk, has puzzled scholars through the ages. Foretelling wars, plagues and rebellions, the Black Book of Bran is said to have predicted the Black Death and the Gunpowder Plot. But is it the result of divine inspiration or the ravings of a madman? A hidden hoard of Saxon gold. A poisoned priest. A monk skinned alive in Westminster Abbey. Only one thing is certain: whoever comes into possession of the cursed book meets a gruesome and untimely end...

       This is an interesting surmise. The 6 authors all write historic detective fiction, but they come together to write a short story featuring their own detective, but the short stories are all related. In this case they all feature a book of prophesy written be a deranged/inspired (delete as appropriate) Irish monk in the 6th Century. The book contains quatrains that predict the future oft he world and this poor book gets invooved in all sorts of events as different groups want it in order to use it their own ends. A good idea, well executed. I've read several of the authors writing their full length books and I can see I might investigate those I've not read in full.
    • 5/5
      This has to be my favourite of the books so far, the 'acts' seemed to work much better than in previous outings and C.J. Sansom's epilogue was brilliant. A great book for medieval mystery fans.
