Title: The Executioner of St Paul's
Author: Susanna Gregory
Narrator: Gordon Griffin
Format: Unabridged
Length: 13 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's Summary:
The plague raging through London in 1665 has emptied the city. The only people left are those too poor to flee or those who selflessly struggle to control the contagion and safeguard the capital's future. Amongst them, though, are those prepared to risk their health for money - those who sell dubious 'cures' and hawk food at wildly inflated prices. Also amongst them are those who hold in their hands the future of the city's most iconic building - St Paul's Cathedral.
The handsome edifice is crumbling from decades of neglect and indecision, giving the current custodians a stark choice: repair or demolish. Both sides have fanatical adherents who have been fighting each other since the Civil Wars. Large sums of money have disappeared, major players have mysteriously vanished, and then an unidentified skeleton is discovered in another man's grave.
A reluctant Chaloner returns to London to investigate, only to discover that someone is determined to thwart him by any means - by bullet, poison or bludgeon - and he fears he has very little time to identify the culprits before he becomes yet another victim in the battle for the cathedral's future.

Yet another great book from Suzanne Gregory
Having read the first two paperbacks in this series and loved them both. I thought I would try an audio version of another to see if it was as good as actually reading it for my self. I was delighted with the range of voices the reader creates for each character and found it did not spoil my own imagined characters but put sound to them and made them more real than I had expected. Love the book, love narrative and looking forward to the next one. In fact I may get the whole series including the tow paperbacks I have already read. Wish I had tried this first.

th
i enjoyed this book very much, the storyline was good and i was drawn into the plot and got a good feeling for london in the midst of a terrble plague and the intrigues of the time.
Another great listen
This a Challoner story ...so why isn't it linked to the rest? However it does convey how claustrophobic London must have been when closed off by the plague. An intreguing tale well narrated ...dont change the narrator his is voice now firmly linked in my head with Thomas Challoner
The executioner of st Paul's
Very enjoyable story line and interesting and historical opening the story and corruption of the time
Just as much fun as usual
Always enjoy Susanna Gregory's tohnge in cheek styke. Plenty of twists and turns with main characters getting embroiled in unlikely events but always coming out on top.
