About this listen
Lady Jane Grey was born into the most dangerous of times. Child of a scheming father and a ruthless mother for whom she was a pawn in a dynastic game with the highest stakes, she lived a life in thrall to political machinations and lethal religious fervour.
Growing up with the future Queen Elizabeth and her reluctant nemesis, Mary, she soon learned the truth of the values imparted to her by Henry VIII's last Queen, Katherine Parr. Her honesty, intelligence and strength of character carried her through all the vicious twists of Tudor power politics to her nine-day reign and its unbearably poignant conclusion.

Very enlightening. Great listen on audible.
It took me a while to get into this but once in, I was hooked. I'm now going to get others by Alison Weir.

Fabulous book
I love history books including historical fiction. I knew the story of Lady Jane Grey from studying at school but this story really brings it home just how weird that particular point of history got. Touring and frying of religious zealots on both sides proves how divisive religion can be, leading to death destruction of both people and, almost, nations. A wonderful read.

Fantastic
As a Scot who’s ignorant about most of these shenanigans I found this absolutely fascinating and so interesting. I have enormous respect for anyone who could put together such a comprehensive account,and it will not be my last book by this author.
My attention was completely gripped all the way through and I was sorry when it finished.
Some of it was a wee bit near the nuckle but this was a very,very, violent time,and,again,the author is to be commended for exposing all the gory details,don’t let that put you off.
Read or listen to this book!

Truly an outstanding performance
Where does Innocent Traitor rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is the first review I have written for an audio book but after listening to this wonderful story I felt I had to share my experience. For me, it is the beautiful narration by Patience Tomlinson that was the key to my enjoyment of this wonderful book. I had read the book in print on its release but of late I have had to rely more on audio books and was struggling with the transition but on hearing this beautiful narration I was completely hooked. She masters the characters voices complete with different dialects and accents and she does not falter. The story itself is wonderful and if you like a historical drama based on fact then this is certainly the book for you. I am so taken with the wonderful narration that I intend to look for other books by this brilliant and talented narrator.
What did you like best about this story?
Although I loved the story the narrator brought it to life.
What about Patience Tomlinson’s performance did you like?
An absolutely wonderful performance that has without a doubt after a long struggle with the transition from print to audio finally converted me with her wonderful performance I think I can say after reading this in print on its publication I enjoyed the audio version more than the printed book itself. She brought all the characters to life.
Any additional comments?
I have always been fascinated with Lady Jane Grey and have read many books both fact and fiction and this is probably one of my favorites.

Good story
Good story which I had read in other books spoilt by terrible performances which were a distraction. However still got through it quickly.

Intriguing, heart breaking and a gentle honour to an interesting woman
I very much enjoyed this. it gave me insight into such a heart shattering tale, for a fiercely intelligent woman who endured so much in such a short life time. I felt the book truly captured the soul and voices of the historical figures, and I will continue to devour Weir's books, both in written and audio format. A good recommendation from someone who loves historical based literature, either non-fiction or told as a story.
