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?

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.

Good Mystery and a budding love story

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 mystery from 1800’s England

Great book, but I had to listen to at 1.5 speed. Does the narrator get paid by the minute? She, otherwise, is a good narrator.

The intricate story

Interesting characters and setting, and lots of historical details. Great start to the series! Looking forward to hearing more.

Really interesting and nuanced

The story was well written and the characters engaging.
The narration, though, was bit difficult to follow at times as the narrator would go from really loud to so soft that I could barely hear her. This happened all in the same sentence, multiple times throughout the reading. It took me a while to get used to the up and down inflection.
Otherwise, the story was really engaging and I found difficult to stop listening when my attention was needed elsewhere.

The story was well written; the narration left a bit to be desired.

Another great story with excellent character development, and I really enjoyed the reference to Constable Ransom from the Haze and Redmond mystery series.

Excellent story!
