Summary
London, 1882. Alec Lonsdale, a young reporter on the Pall Mall Gazette, is working on a story about a fatal house fire. But the postmortem on the victim produces shocking results: Patrick Donovan's death was no accident. But why would someone murder a humble shop assistant and steal part of his brain?
When a second body is discovered, its throat cut, and then a third, Lonsdale and his spirited female colleague, Hulda Friederichs, begin to uncover evidence of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest echelons of Victorian society.

Flows nicely
Interesting and held my attention. Few twists I didn’t see coming and a few unbelievably consequences but all and all solid. Bought as a BOGOF and well narrated.

Really enjoyed this!
I really enjoyed this first book in what I hope will become a series. Jonathan Keeble is probably my favourite narrator so that was a big plus. The book , set in victorian England , touched on the more outlandish scientific theories of the day. The protagonists are journalists , which makes a change. The story was gripping and the book rattled along at a great pace . Looking forward to the next day me .

Convoluted Victorian mystery
Grisly murders, eugenics and mad scientists in a well crafted mystery. The squalor of the East End is graphically portrayed.

Full of twists and turns
I really enjoyed this book. The story is intriguing and the characters enjoyable. Jonathan Keeble does a fantastic job on the narration - very impressed. The final couple of chapters are tremendously exciting! Definitely recommend this book and will go on to read the sequel

Complex plotting
Excellent narration which added to the pleasure of this tale. Very much in the style of a Holmes story.Unexpected twists and I really enjoyed this.

What a find
Had this on my wish list for a while then bought it this month
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very atmospheric.
I was going to get authors second book in series, but like others without Jonathan Keeble,who as usual,was superb,reading it, I shan’t bother.
Narrators are so important.They can make or ruin a book, even when the story is good.
Authors take note.
