About this listen

His heart pounding, the man scribbles the words in his notebook as fast as he can: “Woman dead in Highgate. Man in caped coat. Milky way and red streaks. I’m being followed.”

Hours later, the man’s cold body lies in the city mortuary, alongside the woman he couldn’t save. And his sister, unconventional nurse Gemma Tate, tracks down troubled police inspector Sebastian Bell to unravel the truth.

Sebastian has enough pressure to solve the murder of an aristocratic heiress without Gemma meddling in his case. But the cryptic sentences she brings him from her brother’s notebook could be a crucial lead. If only they knew what “milky way” meant. But as the trail of clues takes them away from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobility and into the dangerous slums of London, how far will their partnership be tested on the quest for justice, and will they both emerge unscathed?

The overly dramatic narration was reminiscent of a third year senior drama class…. Awful!! I think I would have enjoyed the story but the narration was terrible

Dreadful narrator

Imogen Church is fantastic as always! So many different voices, all perfectly done. I wish everything I listened to was read by her!

Really good listen

Yet another great book from Irene Shapiro beautifully narrated. Rather a grim book but gripping nonetheless.

Excellent

A good story, as usual by Irina Shapiro. The narrator...very irritating, the unnecessary changes in intonation and volume drove me to distraction. I don't think I'll continue the series because of this, I'll just read the physical book instead.

A good story

Very tricky to listen to this due to awful narration . Some characters given ghastly high pitched voices totally unbelievable had to keep adjusting the volume as so varied either far too shrill and loud or too low to hear properly
I enjoyed the story on the whole but the narrator spoiled the experience for me .l wouldn’t buy another book with this narrator in future

Good story terrible narration
