About this listen

When an Italian assassin's body is found floating in a barrel in Victorian London's East End, enquiry agent Cyrus Barker and his assistant Thomas Llewelyn are called in to investigate. Soon corpses begin to appear all over London, each accompanied by a Mafia Black Hand note. As Barker and Llewelyn dig deeper, they become entangled in the vendettas of rival Italian syndicates - and it is no longer clear who is a friend or foe.

Thomas & Ferguson hit the mark again, this time adding a little bit more - but not focused on - personal info about Barker & Llewellen. The way this story ended could be the end of the series but leaves it open and obvious about how Barker regards his trainee.

I liked how the relationship between Barker and Llewelyn is growing. I’m really starting to bond with the characters in the series. Love Anthony Fergusons narration. I could listen to him read the phone book.

Love the history of this one especially being Italian

Six out of five!! Will Thomas is an amazing author and Barker and Lewellyn are the best detective duo since Holmes and Watson!

I've enjoyed the series 1-5. The narrator is great and does excellent accents from London, other parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. His French accents are also good. His Italian accents are not as polished - they sound a little like bad vampires rather than Italians. Don't let that disuade you from this installment. Start with the first and run through them all.

Great story!
