Superintendent Duncan Kincaid is called to investigate the shocking death of a woman found burned beyond recognition in a Victorian warehouse in south London. When his lover and partner, Gemma James, is asked to trace a friend's missing roommate, she and Duncan discover that their cases have several disturbing links.

Set against a backdrop of Dickensian Southwark, repository of old secrets, the case plunges Duncan and Gemma into the dark recesses of human relationships. Two women are missing, a little girl is abducted, and no one is really what they seem. The detectives must discover the truth, as innocent lives hang in the balance.

A few small discrepancies caused a bit of confusion but it didn’t spoil the story. It was an interesting story from an interesting view point and I loved the historical angle. Add a bit of nostalgia as the London described is very much diminished now and replaced by modern buildings during the boom times. Hopeful what’s left can be preserved and brought back to life for future generations to enjoy. I’m curious about more books now from the author but only very few are available in the UK audio and with different narrators. I’m not yet convinced as I enjoyed the male narrator far more than the various female ones. They are not bad though so should not deter the listener to go on with the series as the stories in the newer instalments are quite interesting so better not missing out on the enjoyment.

Interesting story well narrated

Not perfect but an interesting plot involving arson and murder - well narrated. I will look out for more from the author.

Good listen

For me, there were too many characters that the book jumped between and l found that rather confusing. The story was interesting though, but the Americanisms were annoying - normalcy instead of normality and fit instead of fitted etc. I thought the narrator was good.

Confusing

The story was interesting with threads that were well-intertwined. The grating things were, as far too frequently, the Americanisation of English settings. This meant we were ‘treated’ to words like ‘normalcy’, fire house, night stand and play yard. (What British school EVER had a play yard?) The ironic thing about that though, was that the erasing of British English slipped during the book back into fire station and normality - in both senses.
The narrator was mostly good - except for some inflections that sounded almost Australian at times, and that messed with my concentration from time to time. Overall, the book was reasonably worth the time to listen to.

A book with split personality - or poor editing
