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?

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!

Interesting to hear about detective efforts back in the 20s.

It includes details of the aristocratic social set.

You’ll never guess the ending

Fun book

It felt over-acted, over-emphasized, over-done to me. The story was ok, but I would have liked it better without giving the characters such excessive drama. Had this been a library book, I wouldn’t have listened past the first few minutes. Sorry, just not something I enjoy in a narration.

The narration just distracted me

Great read.

I felt like I needed a good mystery to cleanse my pallet and this was the perfect "read". I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I will definitely continue with this series! my ONLY complaint - the narrator spoke slowly, so I did listen at 1.5.

Interesting and intriguing!

Wow! I listened to this in 3 days. The pace is excellent, and it never feels like actions are added to use as “filler.” No, everything makes sense and has a reason for being. Can’t wait to start in for the next book.

“Page Turner” Absolutely Enthralling

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
