Özet

When Lord Wrexford discovers the body of a gifted inventor in a dark London alley, he promptly alerts the watchman and lets the authorities handle the matter. But Wrexford soon finds himself drawn into the murder investigation when the inventor's widow begs for his assistance, claiming the crime was not a random robbery. It seems her husband's designs for a revolutionary steam-powered engine went missing the night of his death. The plans could be worth a fortune...and very dangerous in the wrong hands.

Joining Wrexford in his investigation is Charlotte Sloane, who uses the pseudonym A. J. Quill to publish her scathing political cartoons. Her extensive network of informants is critical for her work, but she doesn't mind tapping that same web of spies to track down an elusive killer. Each suspect - from ambitious assistants to rich investors, and even the inventor's widow - is entwined in a maze of secrets and lies that leads Wrexford and Sloane down London's most perilous stews and darkest alleyways.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book -
Even so it is a story finished in itself -
Book II continues to connect the people from book I

Beautifully presented!

A joy to listen to and the plot was thrilling!

Another fascinating story!!!

The narrator’s delivery was painful. All characters had same phrasing even if with different voice.
Very irritating by the end.

Interesting story but…

The story was unfolding quite nicely, but I couldn’t get along with it. I found the casual & so, so oft repeated references to satan jarring. I found this to be true of the first book too, but I persevered. I thought this a little better in that there wasn’t just so much repetition, other than the terms “blunt” & “famished” which occur too many times. I stopped not long after the line “praise satan” was uttered. I don’t praise him, nor want to spend time with characters who do.

This title was admirably read by James Cameron Stewart as usual.

This Regency Mystery genre is new to me and I admire the mix of all of the classes of Regency Society, right down to the Street Urchins! Thomas Raven Sloane is a star! The unfolding relationship between Wrexford & Sloane is an understandably slow burn, but I hope that it will resolve itself within the course of the next tale.

I enjoy the story lines and I’ve begun to notice the pat endings.

However, I wonder about the Author’s over abundance of similes and metaphors of satan, the devil, hell, etc. I find it disturbing and unnecessarily ubiquitous. The “character” of London is already painted dark, dreary, dirty and dangerous. There’s little sunlight, more drizzle, mud and fog, therefore the added satanic sentences are, to my enjoyment, irksome.

I shall read the next one (Murder at Kensington Palace) in the hope that it is a less, ubiquitously dark satanic theme. If it isn’t, then that’s me - done.

Unnecessarily Dark

I really like this series. The up and down relationship between the 2 main characters keep the story moving. The child spy’s and B. Runners element is a good addition. The only thing that becomes charring sometimes is the way the narrator sounds like a robot when he reads. It’s stunts the story

Brilliant series
