Would you listen to The Yard again? Why?

I did enjoy the story immensely, it was not unnecessarily complicated as some authors like to only pull the various threads together at the very end of the book. Here one always knew what what one getting which was fine, however, some twist at the end of would have been appreciated.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Yard?

The Narrator is brilliant, however, I can only find one other book for him...Give this man a job someone !!!

Have you listened to any of Christopher Saul’s other performances? How does this one compare?

See above....

Excellent novel but no surprises

What did you like most about The Yard?

Great story, interesting historical detail, brilliantly interwoven multiple plots.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Yard?

The discovery of the boy's body in the chimney - heartbreaking and horrific to think children were treated like this only a century ago.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Blackleg's flirtation with Hammersmith's gullible landlady

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

A grisly post-Ripper thriller?

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next book by this author. Great narration too.

This is the first book in a series, so some time is taken setting up the main characters. Normally this is a tedious but necessary procedure - in this case it was skilfully woven into the plot - the main plot wasn’t anything special, the usual maniac serial killer in Victorian London. But the subplots were better, especially a determination to uncover crimes not recognised as crimes. Not going to give anything away here, well worth pursuing. All the characters (except for the serial killer) are interesting in their own rights. The ending was a bit neat, too tidy and all’s right now. But there are other books …

Complex page turner

For a crime novel reader this is a good read, entertaining and not too far fetched portraying characters well and reflecting on medical conditions as a compassionate person would at the time. I was a little worried that it would dwell on Jack the Ripper and various theories about who he was but it doesn't. The book pitches it just right in the main only mentioning him where it relevant and reflecting on the mood of the general population of London following a time of Jack. So story line good, characters good and pace good too. It's all good really.

Simply a good read.

Equal parts fun and disturbing. Well researched to reflect the period. Highly recommended for crime fans.

Thoroughly enjoyable and well performed
