About this listen

In the hellish sprawl of Imperial Terra, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl serves as a stalwart and vigilant protector, for even the Throneworld is not immune to the predations of its enemies. In the course of his Emperor-sworn duty, Crowl becomes embroiled in a dark conspiracy, one that leads all the way to the halls of the Imperial Palace.

As he plunges deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the many palace districts, his investigation attracts the attention of hidden forces, and soon he and his acolyte Spinoza are being hunted - by heretics, xenos, servants of the Dark Powers, or perhaps even rival elements of the Inquisition itself. Soon they discover a terrible truth, one that if allowed to get out could undermine the very fabric of the Imperium itself.

Great atmosphere, good characters, interesting story.
Yet I newer got hooked by the horror part.
Was a little confused in the end and think I missed some important details.
Would have loved to like it more.
Still interesting.

Fizzled out in the end

It's an enjoyable book. Interesting to hear about life (and death) on the throne world. Inquisatorial intreague and detective work is always fun.

All around a solid and enjoyable book.

this is just a little thing, but why does the author not call female lords , ladys. it sounds really weird when men are addressing women as the masculine 'my lord' except for that it was pretty good , very atmospheric, the writing was fairly decent, and not repetitive.
definitely would recommend it.

one small issue but otherwise very good
