Internationally acclaimed New York Times best-selling author Carlos Ruiz Zafon takes us into a dark, gothic Barcelona and creates a rich, labyrinthine tale of love, literature, passion, and revenge in which the heroes of The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game must contend with a nemesis that threatens to destroy them.
Barcelona, 1957. It is Christmas, and Daniel Sempere and his wife, Bea, have much to celebrate. They have a beautiful new baby son named Julian, and their close friend Fermin Romero de Torres is about to be wed. But their joy is eclipsed when a mysterious stranger visits the Sempere bookshop and threatens to divulge a terrible secret that has been buried for two decades in the city's dark past. His appearance plunges Fermin and Daniel into a dangerous adventure that will take them back to the 1940's and the early days of Franco's dictatorship. The terrifying events of that time launch them on a search for the truth that will put into peril everything they love and ultimately transform their lives.

However, this narration nearly ruined the story for me. From the weird Scottish or Irish accent he gave for Fermin, to weird pronunciations of locations to calling Bea (BEE). That was so distracting I almost couldn't go on. Part of me wishes that the first narrator of SOTW that I listened to, Jonathan Davis, continued here for this title. I look forward to reading this for myself because this story was still so enjoyable.
Great story but the narration almost ruined it
