About this listen

Highly acclaimed crime writer Ann Granger takes us on another thrilling adventure in her ninth Victorian murder mystery featuring Scotland Yard's Inspector Ben Ross and his wife Lizzie.

It is the summer of 1871 when Scotland Yard's Inspector Ben Ross pays a visit to Jacob Jacobus, the old rogue of Limehouse: infamous antiquarian, friend to villains and informer to the police. Ben hopes to glean information about any burglaries that might take place now that the wealthiest echelons of society are back in London for the Season.

Little does he realise that an audacious theft has already occurred - a priceless family heirloom, the Roxby emerald necklace, has been stolen from a dressing table in the Roxby residence, and the widowed Mrs Roxby is demanding its immediate return.

Ben's day gets worse when he and his wife Lizzie are interrupted that evening by the news that Jacob Jacobus has been found dead in his room with his throat slit from ear to ear... Surely the two crimes cannot be connected? But with Ben's meticulous investigative skills and Lizzie's relentless curiosity, it is only a matter of time before the tragic truth is revealed...

Great mystery and characters

all the character feels real and you really start to like them and care for them. you feel as though you are a fellow policeman let in on the investigation and a member of victorian society. It was also nice recognising all the locations as someone from London.

Another excellent Victorian murder mystery!

This was an interesting story set in Victorian London. The author is very good at describing the sights and smells of London !! The narrators voices are now those of Lizzie and Ben !

A Gem

Great performance, as always. A joy to listen to. Good story line. I’m a fan of this genre. Eagerly awaited by me, this next in the series of “Ben Ross”. Thank you.

Classic Victorian era Murder Mystery

Huge fan of Ann Granger’s Ben and Lizzie Ross series. It was great to be transported back to the 1870s and enjoy another unravelling of two seemingly unrelated incidences which come together with such engaging story telling. Really enjoyed and only wished it had gone on longer. Great stuff.
