Well written and supported by good narration. Sometimes a good story is spoilt by poor narration, however the narration of this book was, in my opinion, just right. William Monk is a flawed individual but immensely likeable. Great portrayal of Victorian life. A bit too much distraction, for me, of the main story by Monks seeking answers to his own life.

Enjoyable

I couldn't stop listening to this, but at the same time I didn't want it to end. You get to know all the characters very well. Brilliant attention to detail. And the narrator does a perfect job at bringing the characters and the story to life

Excellent

The subject for the murder is surprising and rather sordid , I wouldn’t have bought it had I known what it was about. At times the story was long winded with too much details.

Sensitive subject which should have a warning

An amazing portrayal of Victorian morals and the class system . Moving and well researched . I enjoyed the tale and the performance

Not for the squeamish. The reader does very well with the various voices, generally not interfering with enjoyment of the narrative. A few rare mispronunciations. I felt in a number of places it was padded out by repetition and I wanted the story to move on. Toward the end it revealed some abhorrent goings-on, so be prepared. Plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing.

Intriguing but repetitious. Some parts rather disgusting

The third and final book of this murder story and the best one yet. It kept me completely spellbound until the very end. The narration is magnificent throughout the three titles. I highly recommend them

Absolutely brilliant
