London. A city drowning in fog. Amid that fog, a man with no name dies above a strange junkshop. Threads of mist and intrigue weave around a court case with no resolution, linking great country houses with the lowest slum in the city, mingling the high-born with a boy who sweeps the filthy streets, enshrouding devious plots and sudden murder, bringing together two extraordinary women – Lady Dedlock and Esther Summerson - who seem to have nothing whatsoever in common but who will find themselves inextricably linked.

Audible's trilogy of Dickens dramatizations, executive produced by Sam Mendes, and with a new original score by Dan Gillespie-Sells, concludes with the most dramatic and atmospheric yet, starring Thandiwe Newton (Westworld), Ambika Mod (One Day), Mackenzie Crook (The Office) and Mark Strong (Kingsman).

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

I cannot speak highly enough about the narrators. Of course, it's an Audible production. Being a Charles Dickens fan, I have tried to read this book for years but couldn't get past the first few chapters. Audible ALWAYS brings the characters to life and I absolutely couldn't put it down. Don't miss this one.

Smiply Outstanding

Great actors

The plot was amazing but perhaps if it was a television series or physical reading, I would have enjoyed it more. There was exposition I thought unnecessary to the story and so many dramatic pauses that didn’t translate well in an Audio book. That being said the narrators all dis quite well. Also the kid’s voice was annoying.

It was okay, but won’t be my favorite.
