This was the final book.
I have purchased all six books up to now. I have listened to all six. In essence the books are all very well written. Historically very interesting. Narrated extremely well by Steven Crossley. The plots were always rather weak though.
I actually purchased Book number 7 but returned it and got a refund after the second chapter. The new narrator was far too monotone for my liking. It was extremely confusing as to who was saying what and when.

Not a grabber.
I do enjoy these books but they don’t grab my attention. I wonder if the narration is part of the problem. It’s very ponderous and one note and makes the main character sound dull; a real problem when the books are told from his POV.

As a fan of Mel Starr it is another good book I never wax lyrical over anything so it's all I need to say

Gently introguing
I am enjoying the stories about Hugh and his work in solving mysteries at Bampton but I do wish there was a different narrator. Stephen Crossly has this rather irritating lilt to his voice which never changes and is always rather dour. He could do with a few lessons in engaging narration which is why I'm only giving 4 stars.

Sadly not my favourite of his works
The pace never really got going in this book compared to the others and the actor was more ponderous than usual.
Interesting premise but not the five stars his works usually inspire from me.

Gloomy and dull
I’ve enjoyed the other stories albeit finding the narrator’s voice too old for the character. However, there was far too much religious proselytising in this gloomy and dull tale of woe. Little pace and the main character appears to have donned his pipe and slippers along with his holier than thou matron of a wife. I think it high time Hugh was archived. He’s become boring, sanctimonious and the plot gave him nowhere to go other than being pompous, resigned and lecturing. Needless to say I won’t buy another miserable tale.

Great series
I'm doing a review for the whole series as I've left it so long since I started listening to them.
I would highly recommend this series and in fact I have done so to a number of people already. Very impressed with the writing, the research that seems to have been done and the historical accuracy is excellent.
Nice characters, good pace, interesting stories. Really interesting to see the ability of surgeons then and the ways Hugh deducts things.
