Another fine book in the series
Great book for a causal read. Granted Magdalena is a bit harsher in this one. But I really enjoyed that this was set in a different town. And the characters are written so well. Wether it is the Milanese dignitary or the beggar king himself. I kind of hope we get to see these characters again in a future novel. Keep up the great writing can’t wait to see where the next book take us. If you like an almost Bond like book set in medieval Germany, this series may be for you

Not quite up to par with the first two in the Hangman's Daughter series, but still enjoyable. There were far too many irons in the fire in this one, and the mystery wasn't as carefully crafted. I knew "whodunnit" (on several counts) far too early for my tastes. Though I am still looking forward to The Warlock, the fourth installment due up next.

I'm a HUGE fan of this series - I think what appeals to me is the mystery/historical realistic fiction genre. For some reason it's rarely done well. This series is a dream come true. I absolutely adore the Kuisl family (hangman) despite the fact he tortures people for a living. I love the rebel Simon (almost Doctor) despite the fact he can be a dolt. And I adore Magdalena (the hangman's daughter) who has fire, spirit, and doesn't relegate herself to a damsel in distress role. For the 17th century, she's pretty much Wonder Woman!
This third book in the series moves at a quick pace with a perfect blend of history and mystery though more mystery, admittedly. The finale is a bit predictable but full of enough turns to keep it fresh.

I really enjoyed this book. I think it had a great amount of mystery, intrigue and excitement. I believe it was easily my favorite of the series so far and I am very much looking forward to book #4. The teaser at the end of this book really got me excited to see what happens!!!!!
Another great installment with excellent audio narration. Better than the second and on par with the first. Can't wait to see where the series goes next.
Love this series. Already have The Poisoned Pilgrim on pre-order.
I did enjoy the Beggar King much more than the Dark Monk. There are still weird cut scenes, and the mysterious figure in the shadows, but overall, it was more interesting and still had a good twist in the end.
As much as I enjoyed the original Hangman's Daughter, these subsequent books seem to be getting a little more far-fetched and forced. Overall the story is a good little mystery, I'm just not really enjoying the journey as much. Maybe I'm getting old and cranky, or maybe everyone seems to have a super power of healing, alas I'm going to have to give this 2 stars, after initially thinking it was worthy of 3... On to the next journey.
