About this listen

Once upon a time, a boy from a noble family fell in love with a girl from the gutter. It went as badly as you’d expect.

Seventeen years later, Susan Lazarus is a renowned detective, and Templeton Lane is a jewel thief. She’s tried to arrest him, and she’s tried to shoot him. They’ve never tried to talk.

Then Templeton is accused of a vicious double murder. Now there’s a manhunt out for him, the ports are watched, and even his best friends have turned their backs. If he can’t clear his name, he’ll hang.

There’s only one person in England who might help Templeton now...assuming she doesn’t want to kill him herself.

The story was absolutely brilliant, as always but I really didn’t like the dual narration, Cornell Colins is the best narrator ever, why interfere with perfection. I found the swapping from one narrator to another jarring, if future stories have two narrators in the future I’ll stick with the kindle books only.

Not loving the dual narration

Having listened to Any Old Diamonds, the first book in the series, I think Cornell Collins’ narration on it’s own would have been fine. I suppose the publishers were aiming to emphasis the dual POV. Enjoyable story, good to see glimpses of characters from earlier series.

Puzzling narration

As any production be it 'audible' or stage,the seasoned audience will discern a good author/story and will enjoy the journey as the quality of the original characters/events outshine the production's players/narrators and hook the audiences imagination and ESCELLENT STORY is the overall experience.


No reflection on the narrators if they had read as the book alone.

I hope future Amazon audibles ensure that with two narrators, playing the same characters, as with stage production should meet and have a read'through so they share the same 'history' /essence of the characters and then work voices together. For me, it took me a little time to adjust to the same character being portrayed differently by each narrator : different especially as social stereotypes /class differences in voice tone/pitch/accent.

However the STORY IS EXCELLENT, ENJOYABLE...and RECOMMENDED

Excellent story but narrators not in sync

Fab book as usual from K J Charles,
Male narrator good, woman one was not good, too slow and can’t speed up with two. Also strange accent and I can’t believe a British person doesn’t know how to say Cirencester….

Brill story as usual

The story premise is good and the characters are likeable. The narration was good too.

Enjoyable Story
