Matthew Bartholomew, unorthodox but effective physician to Michaelhouse college in medieval Cambridge, is as worried as anyone about the pestilence that is ravaging Europe and seems to be approaching England. But he is distracted by the sudden and inexplicable death of the Master of Michaelhouse - a death the University authorities do not want investigated.

But Matt is determined to get to the truth, leading him into a tangle of lies and intrigue that cause him to question the innocence of his closest friends - and even his family - just as the Black Death finally arrives.

A Plague on Both Your Houses is the book that introduced Matthew Bartholomew to the world.

Good story

I loved reading this series, hoping for more. But this is so much fun to listen to thanks to the extremely talented narrator. He voices dozens of characters so well, that it’s like Masterpiece theater for your ears. He brings this series to life in a way that reading it on your own can’t. I’m looking forward to binge listening my way back through the series.

I fault the director or producer. I noticed at least 3 instances when the wrong word was said, but it wasn't caught.

I don't faultl the reader
