About this listen

In a gloomy flat off Islington High Street, Chief Inspector Brett Nightingale and Sergeant Beddoes find an old woman dead. The Princess Olga Karukhin, who fled from Russia at the time of the Revolution, has lived in terror of being discovered ever since. Olga's grandson, Ivan, appears to have run from the scene but is later seen returning to the flat as though oblivious to the terrible crime. Taking place between 22nd and 24th December, Nightingale's enquiry takes him across London, culminating in the wrapping up of the mystery on Christmas Eve.

I love a classic crime book and this is a great one. I didn’t love the weird gender politics that go along with a classic crime book, particularly when they involve married men lusting after teens.

Love the action and setting, hate the creeping on the teen

The narrator David Thorpe saves this story! It is slow to develop but his engaging performance keeps you involved.

Good story

Having the Inspector announce his solution to the murder and theft in a lengthy soliquoi. This is a case of too much information all at once. I read review

Disappointed
