About this listen
'Incredibly atmospheric, haunting and poignant.' Nicola Cornick
1648 - Hertfordshire
Thirteen-year-old Katherine Ferrers is in despair at being betrothed to arch-Royalist Thomas Fanshawe whose family are hellbent on plundering her family’s fortune to champion the exiled Charles. As her unhappy marriage stretches before her, her only comfort is her beloved childhood home The Cell. But as the years pass and Kate grows restless, a new passion, a new love and a dangerous calling threaten to upend everything she’s ever known.
Present Day - Hertfordshire
Charlie Wolfe jumps at the chance to help his uncle renovate a tumbledown cottage overlooking Nomansland Common. Number One Constable’s Cottages was once the home of the man charged with ridding the common of the highwaymen who terrorised travellers. But it’s the story of The Wicked Lady, the notorious female highway robber, that captures Charlie’s imagination, and some long winters’ nights he’s sure he can the hoofbeats of her horse echoing across time.
What drove this mystery woman to risk everything for a life of crime, and why is she still restless, wandering the common in grief? It seems only Charlie can finally uncover the secret Katherine Ferrers has kept for hundreds of years; a secret of a terrible betrayal and a tragic love that was never meant to end this way…
USA Today bestselling author Judy Leigh writing as Elena Collins, brings you this spellbinding and heartbreaking timeslip novel, uncovering the intriguing story of another brave woman that history forgot. Perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Nicola Cornick, Diana Gabaldon and Louise Douglas.

Beautifully written tale
This is a captivating tale which I could not stop listening to as the reader is persuaded by Kate of her means to survive a loveless penniless marriage and to live a little on her own terms, which was denied women of the 17th Century.
I rushed through the modern story that runs in parallel just to get back to the main story of Kate, the Wicked Lady.

Good Premise
I loved the idea of the book, but felt that the woman reading it was a little robotic. I liked the atmosphere of the story and the way it unfolded, but found the ending quite disappointing. I usually enjoy this authors books, but genuinely felt that she just wanted to get this one finished and done with.
