About this listen

His heart pounding, the man scribbles the words in his notebook as fast as he can: “Woman dead in Highgate. Man in caped coat. Milky way and red streaks. I’m being followed.”

Hours later, the man’s cold body lies in the city mortuary, alongside the woman he couldn’t save. And his sister, unconventional nurse Gemma Tate, tracks down troubled police inspector Sebastian Bell to unravel the truth.

Sebastian has enough pressure to solve the murder of an aristocratic heiress without Gemma meddling in his case. But the cryptic sentences she brings him from her brother’s notebook could be a crucial lead. If only they knew what “milky way” meant. But as the trail of clues takes them away from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobility and into the dangerous slums of London, how far will their partnership be tested on the quest for justice, and will they both emerge unscathed?

Good Mystery and a budding love story

I liked the characters. They are flawed and relatable. The story is a bit far fetched but well written in spite if that. I look forward to book 2.

Great mystery from 1800’s England

If you like a good mystery set in England in the 1800’s this is a great listen. Narrator is very good and story line keeps you guessing til the end.

Great start to a new series!

I love everything Irina Shapiro has written! She comes up with amazingly twisted stories! I’m happy for a new series but hope to see more of Redmond and Haze and Nicole Rayburn.

A+ new series

This is a great book! The characters are very believable. It is not for the faint of heart though. The crime is a bit dark. Someone with certain triggers might not enjoy it without a warning. I just purchased book 2!

love allows us to see more

when you really love someone you notice all the small reactions, physical responses, developments that can change a life or outcome. This story takes you for a journey of recognition on many levels and personal interactions

Solid mystery, extensive descriptions of sexual violence.

The plot hinges on violence against women, much of it sexual violence. If hearing sometimes graphic descriptions of such attacks is difficult for you, then listen with caution. The mystery is solid, characterization and historical detail are strong.

WOW! This is a great start to a wonderful series.

It starts a bit slow but boy does it pick up speed. The narration is superb and makes the story flow even better. I can’t wait for the next one. THANKS IRINA SHAPIRO!
