About this listen

His heart pounding, the man scribbles the words in his notebook as fast as he can: “Woman dead in Highgate. Man in caped coat. Milky way and red streaks. I’m being followed.”

Hours later, the man’s cold body lies in the city mortuary, alongside the woman he couldn’t save. And his sister, unconventional nurse Gemma Tate, tracks down troubled police inspector Sebastian Bell to unravel the truth.

Sebastian has enough pressure to solve the murder of an aristocratic heiress without Gemma meddling in his case. But the cryptic sentences she brings him from her brother’s notebook could be a crucial lead. If only they knew what “milky way” meant. But as the trail of clues takes them away from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobility and into the dangerous slums of London, how far will their partnership be tested on the quest for justice, and will they both emerge unscathed?

Really good listen

Imogen Church is fantastic as always! So many different voices, all perfectly done. I wish everything I listened to was read by her!

Not too bad

I have to be honest and say I don’t think Irina Shapiro is a great writer. However, she creates decent characters and intricate (if sometimes daft) plots. It makes her books rather a guilty pleasure. My main gripe here was the narrator whose main technique was to speak really quietly then shout when something happened!
