Summary
When crusading lawyer Vikram Pandey sets out in search of a missing youth, his investigations take him to Holywell Street, London's most notorious address. He expects to find a disgraceful array of sordid bookshops. He doesn't expect one of them to be run by the long-lost friend whose disappearance and presumed death he's been mourning for 13 years.
Gil Lawless became a Holywell Street bookseller for his own reasons, and he's damned if he's going to apologize or listen to moralizing from anyone. Not even Vikram; not even if the once-beloved boy has grown into a man who makes his mouth water.
Now the upright lawyer and the illicit bookseller need to work together to track down the missing youth. And on the way, they may even learn if there's more than just memory and old affection binding them together....
Contains mature themes.

Enjoyable listen
Engaging characters, plot and narration (I don’t understand the negative reviews, felt perfectly in line with the vibe of the book and usual KJ Charles content)

Fab story, didn’t love the narrator
Loved the story, would love a part 2 to see how Vik and Gil get on! Narrator’s characterisation of Gil was a bit all over the place but did Vik really well.

Difficult life in the 1900
Life was cheap life was hard and cold people were murdered and police did not have the science for conviction. and this story is well narated.

Great story but a distracting narrator
The story itself was great, especially the dynamic between the two leads, but the narrator is very distractingly faking an accent to the point it makes it difficult to get into the narrative. He’s clearly an American trying to do an English accent, and it’s almost reaching levels of parody with how much he swallows his letters. He even fully looses it in the last couple of chapters in a couple of tense moments, which totally broke immersion

As usual, brilliant story and fantastic narrator. Really enjoyable. The author has other books too which are longer which I personally enjoy more but for a short story, really good.

The narrator is brilliant.
Again I love any KJ novel but tend to stick with only one audio narrator as I have branched out before and have been disappointed. I'm pleased to say that I wasn't this time and was pleasantly surprised with how good this story was told.

Good story, awful narration
I’d read this book before so had hoped it would be a relaxing listen, revisiting an old friend, but the narrator is so awful. The accents are all over the place, although Vik’s is accent is just about believable as an upper class Victorian with Indian parents but Gil’s doesn’t sound like anything from the British Isles and North American pronunciation frequently barrels into far too many sentences. There’s odd emphasis as well which makes it difficult to follow the sense.

Nice story, awful narration
Nice little romp, enjoyable story and characters. However the narration is so distracting, full of bizarre pronunciations and awkward conversations.

A short and dirty adventure
This was set in back alleys of nineteenth century London. The seedy underbelly of society where no one cares if a young man goes missing. One person does care, and eventually his love interest cares too. There’s a harrowing encounter near the end. Overall good little adventure with a steamy scene or two that added to the characters’ arcs.
