Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Ringed Castle by Dorothy Dunnett, read by David Monteath.

Sixteen-year-old Philippa Somerville has left Constantinople intact. Returning to England as wife in name only to Francis Crawford of Lymond, she wastes no time in seeking the truth about her new spouse, even as she finds herself navigating the paranoid court of Queen Mary.

Lymond, meanwhile, arrives in Moscow to assist its young Tsar Ivan to create a fledgling Russian army. But when he is tasked to visit London as Ivan's envoy his path is bound to cross that of the wife he has sworn to divorce.

Yet neither Lymond nor Philippa, caught up in their own scheming, can quite see the vast conspiracy enshrouding them . . .

She is a brilliant story teller, The Lymond Chronicles will keep you reading late into the night, desperate to know the fate of the characters you have come to care deeply about.
Melodrama of the most magnificent kind
Praise for Dorothy Dunnett
A storyteller who could teach Scheherazade a thing or two about pace, suspense and imaginative invention
Marvellous, breathtaking
A masterpiece of historical fiction
One of the greatest tale-spinners since Dumas
Lashings of excitement, colour and subtlety
Vivid, engaging, densely plotted - are almost certainly destined to be counted among the classics of popular fiction

I bought extra Audible credits to be able to continue the Lymond chronicles without having to wait for the next regular monthly credit. I accumulated a lack of sleep to be able to listen to David Monteath reading to me what Lymond is going through. I dread the end of the series because it will leave a void and can't think of what type of audio book should follow. I guess it will have to be something very different, science or psychology or somebody's memoirs.
