April, 1890. London wakes to the shocking news of a mass prison escape. The Scotland Yard Murder Squad now face a desperate race against time: if they don't re-capture the four convicted murderers before night settles, they'll vanish into the dark alleys of the London's criminal underworld for ever. And in the midst of this mayhem and fear, the city's worst nightmare is realised: Jack the Ripper haunts the streets of London once more…©2014 Alex Grecian (P)2014 W.F.

If you don't like vivid descriptions of blood and gore then this is definitely not for you. If you don't mind it, then the continuing adventures of Day and Hammersmith will definitely catch your attention. There has been a prison break but even the warden isn't sure how many prisoners have escaped. Walter Day is rather preoccupied with his wife due to give birth any day now but he and Hammersmith are on the trail of the 4 (or is it 5?) escapees. This is a good listen but the excessive gore makes it unsuitable for younger passengers so be warned!

Rather gory but a good listen

A real "page turner" and I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next.

Great story, excellent narration. Could not listen to this before going to sleep as the voice of one of the characters voice made my flesh crawl. Just as it should for the characterisation. Well done to the narrator.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I have always enjoyed the era of the late 19th. century and Alex Grecian brings it to life with some great characters and a free flowing exciting storyline. For some it may seem a little gory but set in the time of Jack the Ripper the blood lust does not feel excessive. Indeed it transports the listener into the London of that time.

What did you like best about this story?

How the different characters interacted and were all brought through the story together.

What does Nigel Carrington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Nigel Carrington is one of the better readers and he managed to portray so many different characters well enough to enable the listener to know exactly who is who and to follow the story very easily.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

At times.

Any additional comments?

I intend to purchase the Walter Day stories in the future as they become available.
