Very different from the first two in the series

Although Stefan Rudnicki did a wonderful job at narration, the story line was a bit different, taking place in Eddie LaCrosse's past. He is telling the story to his friends as they sit and drink to hear his tale. It goes from the (Bar room story, several times and then back to Eddie telling his tale) You will see a lot of parallels, between Eddies story and the story of "King Arthur". True evil and again those with weak stomach, may wish to pass on this. I hope that Alex Bledsoe continues with more Eddie LaCross in more Original tales. The first two books were wonderful and I recommend them highly. This book is a bit different and it can stand alone, where the first two can not. I was hoping for more about Eddie, but I do hope that Mr Bledsoe will hear the fans and poke some life into a new story for Eddie Et Al.

Yeah, nah

The first two were bad but compelling in how dumb they are but 30 minutes into number three and I'm done. The sneering, self-satisfied, self-appointed hero finally became too much. Life is short. Don't waste it on this.

Tongue in cheek entertainment

Plays a bit like “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead” in that we essentially listen to Le’Morte De Arthur from a bystanders POV. I preferred the first 2 books but if you’re up for the homage, it won’t disappoint.

Fabulous story - love the narrator

This is the third book I have listened to in this series & I loved it. The author has written the story so that it unravels as you go along, and keeps one interested and captivated. It’s a good plot, and always a slight unexpected twist at the end. Stefan is fantastic as a narrator with a deep voice, good pronunciation and inflections. He reads it like you would expect a story to be read. I love him as a narrator and he is perfect for these books. Thank you for this entertaining story……onto the next book!

I could not put it down!

First, I just love Stefan Rudnicki’s narration! What a voice, he has such an incredible range of character voices it’s striking really I will be looking for more of his narration for sure. I am enjoying the whole Eddie Lacrosse series, But this one had me unable to stop! I just had to know what happens next.
The combination of detective/fantasy is an awesome combo!

totally awesome!

this story was very well written and performed. I was kept on the edge of my seat during the whole thing. definitely a must-read.

Another exceptional novel by Eric Bledsoe with excellent narration

This is modern-day-medieval period piece. What does that mean? The setting is medieval/fantasy, but Alex Bledsoe uses current modern vernacular in his dialogue, so the characters are more human, more relatable, to our modern minds. His characters are engaging, his protagonist sympathetic, and human as they struggle with their own failures and doubts.

The narration is excellent! I love this narrator so much, his timing, his deep voice that just drips with honey, but I’m going to try to find even more books narrated by him!

I accidentally started with this book, book 2 in the series, instead of the first book, and then went on to "Burn Me Deadly," not realizing this was part of a series. It didn't matter - Bledsoe's books each stand on their own, even in a series.

Great Series

Bledsoe, in this entire series has a gift of story telling. Even though this series is in made up world, you don’t need to know much about it to understand the plots of any of the LeCross books and yet you don’t feel lacking or wondering at the end. He spins a mystery in a way that you will not understand until he tells it but you are so caught up in the adventure to notice it.

Perfect narration.

#3 is meh

I am a huge fan of the series. I lovedddd book 1 &2. but this one was just....meh. not as original, some repetition from previous books.
I also didn't like that Eddie was telling a story the whole time. This means all character development & previous storyline basically was on hold. I found it annoying.
The performance was spot on, as always!
I will for sure be listening to #4 next.

fantastic!!

As simple and short as the books seem, the series is very addictive. I think this is the best one yet!!
