London, 1841. Returned from their adventures in India, Jeremiah Blake and William Avery have both had their difficulties adapting to life in Victorian England. Moreover, time and distance have weakened the close bond between them, forged in the jungles of India. Then a shocking series of murders in the world of London's gutter press forces them back together. The police seem mysteriously unwilling to investigate, then connections emerge between the murdered men and the growing and unpredictable movement demanding the right to vote for all. In the backstreets of Drury Lane, among criminals, whores, pornographers, and missionaries, Blake and Avery must race against time to find the culprit before he kills again. But what if the murderer is being protected by some of the highest powers in the land?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend it if they have listened to the first one. The characters are both fleshed out more than in The Strangler VIne and the story is decent. As before, there is historical background, though to me not as interesting as what happened in India in the first book.What other book might you compare Infidel Stain to and why?
This is my main gripe about this book. How many Victorian era London mysteries do we need? There are already thousands upon thousands. I think the author should have stayed in India.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Two sittings will suffice.Any additional comments?
I loved the chemistry between Blake and Avery, which has developed since the first book. My main gripe is that the story was not as compelling as in the first book, and that it is situated in Victorian London. That was almost done to death decades ago.Good, but not as good as the first book

As historical fiction it competently described the deplorable class disparities keeping the aristocracy rich and everyone else suppressed and poor, to the point of incarcerating homeless children in adult prisons. The conflicts within the Chartist Movement are likewise well described, placing the story at hand in context. But as a murder investigation, the plot is weighed down by the variety of characters with unclear roles in the mystery. We learn a bit more about Blake and Avery’s back stories, but it doesn’t really enhance true character development. They don’t work well together, as Blake keeps all his thoughts to himself and Avery is morally outraged at the realities of street life, and not trusting Blake’s instincts. I pretty much knew who the murderer probably was, but there was so much background noise going on with the cast of dozens that any sense of urgency or tension was never developed.
As the reader, Alex Wyndham did well with most of the characters, but two Irishmen sadly had voices that brought certain Muppet characters to mind. And as happens too often, finding a way to voice females and children apparently eluded Mr. Wyndham. Mild recommendation for those who enjoyed Blake and Avery and want more, but can’t offer more enthusiasm than that.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Infidel Stain?
The author M.J. Carter changes the setting from sunny exotic India to a cold, class oriented,muddy London losing half the charm of his first book The Strangler Vine. In London his hero character are a little too reminiscent of Holmes and Watson.should of stayed in India
