About this listen

It is 1648, a small village in the Alps: In the thick of a blizzard,a town priest discovers he’s been poisoned. As numbness creeps up his body, he summons the last of his strength and scratches a sign in the frost that will lead the town hangman, his daughter, and the town physician in pursuit of a treasure of the Knights Templar. But the priest’s murderer is already on their trail, and he’s not the only one after the legendary fortune: a dark monk is not far behind,and a band of thieves is roving the countryside, attacking solitary travelers and spreading panic. The race is on, and the stakes are high.

Delivering on the promise of his first book, Oliver Pötzsch takes readers on a whirlwind tour through the occult hiding places of Bavaria’s ancient monasteries, bringing to life the compassionate hangman - who’s destined to join the ranks of literature’s most beloved characters.

I had never heard of this author until a month and a half ago. I've now read 3 of the series and can't get enough. The mixture of historical facts with the authors immense imagination and his families ancient history all make for a fantastic read/listen that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Yet another great story in this series.

Initially the American voice grates because it's not a German accent but you soon get used to it. Narrated well with different voices by one narrator and read with drama. It's great for when you don't want to listen with full attention, you can miss bits and keep on going with the story. It has charming touches and its epilogue offers a voice guided tour of Bavaria.
