About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The second book in the Sally Lockhart quartet, narrated by Adjoa Andoh.

An elderly lady loses her money on an investment, a conjuror is pursued by thugs, and a clairvoyant mentions the name of the richest man in Europe and his mysterious company. Seemingly unconnected events set Sally Lockhart on the trail of an evil far more awful than she could ever imagine.

Kept teenagers and parents spell bound for 12 hour journey. Andoh's accents added to drama.

Fabulous story, brilliantly read

Absolutely amazing and even better than the first one. I love the story but I do have one complaint. WHAT HAPPENED TO ADOLADE! It didn’t tell me but that was actually one of the reasons I began to read book 2.

Amazing story

This story did not fail to keep me guessing right until the end of what was going to happen, great to see the character Jim come into his own and sad but lovely ending!

Brilliant, sad, great sequel!

Another gem by Pullman. Characters and story a joy. Tragedy, hope and humour. A must read.

Something to read again and again

I love Philip Pullman but these stories are made even more magical by Andoh’s brilliant narration. The many different voices, the feeling and thoughtful performance in her dialogue make listening an absolute pleasure!

Adjoa Andoh’s narration is incredible!
