About this listen

When a severed head is left on the steps of Newgate Prison, Lord Redmond and Inspector Haze are left with few clues to solve the murder. Even after the victim is identified as the prison’s hangman, narrowing down the number of suspects proves difficult when the victim was responsible for dozens of deaths, leaving a long list of relatives who might have wanted revenge.

Jason and Daniel must delve into the grim world of a career hangman in order to discover who had loathed him enough to perform an execution of their own.

The Devil is in the Details

I really enjoyed the details and the way they were presented. Irina Shapiro entwines the characters in such a way that you can’t help but feel connected, even the ones who are guilty,

Another captivating story

Great story, hard to stop listening. The actor does great except for the American accent.

An Enjoyable Mystery with Intriguing Characters

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary code in exchange for an honest review.

This was the first Redmond and Haze mystery I’d experienced, but it won’t be my last. The story was extremely well-crafted and the characters were interesting and sympathetic. Though I hadn’t listened to other books in the series, I had no problem following the history of the main characters. The details regarding past occurrences and cases were masterfully inserted as were the clues to the current mystery.

The only minor point of contention is a personal one. At times the narration seemed slightly stilted and slow. But that’s more of a personal preference.

Overall, a great listen!

Great next Murder Mystery story for these friends we truly care about

Wonderful! It took a while to get use to the soft voice of the reader (kept falling asleep if listening at night). But, after about 9 chapters became fully involved.

The series was really great, but is turning into just OK

I really enjoyed the earlier books in this series when it had an equal split between Jason and Daniel and their personal lives. It seems all we do now is listen to Daniel whine and Jason compensate for him and his low self-esteem. Daniel brings nothing to the friendship. At this point, Jason would be better off without him. The Micah/Mary storyline is a bit out of touch as well because those characters are only mentioned as fillers when there's a lull in the plot. Rebecca was another weird storyline that was time wasted. Also really enjoyed the former reader, as the change after this many books has been jarring. I am enjoying the Bell and Tate books more.
