About this listen

London, 1892 - Cyrus Barker is brought into a game of international espionage by the Prime Minister himself in the newest mystery in Will Thomas's beloved series.

Private enquiry agents Cyrus Barker and Thomas Llewelyn receive in the mail an unexplained key stamped with the letter Q. Barker, recognizing it for what it is, uses the key to unlock an anonymous door in the alleyway, which opens to an underground tunnel leading to Downing Street.

The Prime Minister has a small task for Cyrus Barker. A Foreign Office agent stole a satchel in Eastern Europe, but was then himself murdered at Charing Cross. The satchel contains a document desperately wanted by the German government, but while the agent was killed, the satchel remains in English hands. With a cold war brewing between England and Germany, it's in England's interest to return the document contained in the satchel to its original owners and keep it out of German hands.

The document is an unnamed first century gospel; the original owner is the Vatican. And the German government isn't the only group trying to get possession of it. With secret societies, government assassins, political groups, and shadowy figures of all sorts doing everything they can - attacks, murders, counter-attacks, and even massive street battles - to acquire the satchel and its contents, this small task might be beyond even the prodigious talents of Cyrus Barker.

A fun romp with Barker and Llewellyn. I enjoy listening to their exploits and the addition of Thomas’s wife is very fun.

don't knead the "wife's" showdown. drearily dulled the panache ‼ decidedly against future secondary performance

Eleven books into the series & I’m still enjoying Will Thomas’ Barker & Llewelyn novels. It’s 1892, Cyrus Barker has made Thomas Llewelyn a partner in the Inquiry Agency Barker opened more than 10 years ago. Thomas has been married to his wife for 6 months when the novel begins. The Prime Minister contacts them about being couriers to a satchel that a spy from the Home Office stole from Eastern Europe & was killed at Charing Cross. The British government wants to return it to its original owners & away from German hands.

I do love this series & am seeing a lot of growth in Thomas Llewelyn. You see the return of many familiar characters in this story. The story pace was perfect, but almost too fast.

Thomas Llewelyn is coming along nicely

not as stuffy as Sherlock. historicaly correct. readers have gone to great effort to get the accents correct. while they flow better as a series each is also satisfying as a single volume. very enjoyable read.

a Sherlock like series

This whole series is a good read if you enjoy this genre of detective stories. I’ve lost track of which number this particular book is, but I think we’ve reached double figures so the characters are familiar friends. This particular book was enjoyable but not memorable and I am now starting to find the repetition of description a trifle irritating; wintry smile, etc.

Another solid story from an excellent series

Out of the 11 full novels in this series to date, this is my favorite. Definitely not because it involved intrigue on an international scale--but rather because it has continual moments of subtle humor sprinkled throughout. For me, humor that arises from the nature of the characters is always best, and this novel has more than any of the novels that came before. It also has plenty of action, lots of intrigue, and a satisfying solution. Well done!

Subtle and Continual Humor

Loved the different mind sets of the people who were in pursuit of the document. The forgeries of documents are continuing even today.
