To Kill or Cure

The Thirteenth Chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew

By: Susanna Gregory

Narrated by: David Thorpe

Cambridge University is in dire financial straits: the town's landlords are demanding an extortionate rent rise for the students' hostels, and the plague years have left the colleges with scant resources. Tension between town and gown is at boiling point and soon explodes into violence and death. Into this maelstrom comes a charismatic physician whose healing methods owe more to magic than medicine, but his success threatens Matthew Bartholomew's professional reputation - and his life....

Great

Another great installment in this wonderful series! A dispute the town and university on tents and a miracle worker doctor bring a conflict to a head. Wonderful narrator!

David Thorpe is Michael

I have been reading this series. I really enjoy them. I was disappointed when two of them have different narrators that changed Michael’s voice from soft and thoughtful to harsh and growling. David Thorpe is the perfect narrator of these stories bringing the humor written into them.. Susanna Gregory is a genius withers tails.

Another good yarn from Susanna Gregory

I’ve liked all the books that I’ve read so far in the series. This installment centers around both are rent war between the university who wants to keep run slow for their hostels and colleges, and the towns men who own the properties, wanting to raise the rent, there is also a faith healer, who comes to town, and attempts to discredit Matthew Bartholomew, and the other physicians at Cambridge. He makes bogus claims of resurrection and healing. Incurable diseases. I’d like to mention that David Thorpes, narration and voice acting are excellent, especially the voice he gives to brother Michael, the senior Proctor and gluttonous monk.
