Murder has jarred London's elite. The sons of prominent families have been found at dawn in public places, partially butchered, with strange objects stuffed in their mouths. Once again the local magistrate turns to Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, for help. Moving from the gritty world of London's docks to the drawing rooms of Mayfair, Sebastian confronts his most puzzling - and disturbing - case yet.

Well, since I was listening to this book not exactly turning pages but I found myself slowing down my driving to hear more. Great storyline and unbelievable twists and turns.

This is the first I've listened to in the series. The author provided enough back story to give this installment context. It was interesting hearing about the manners and mores of 19th century England, although I'm not a historian so I cannot attest to historical accuracy. I did get a bit muddled with all the characters at the heart of the plot, all these men with their sons and wives. But the author did a good job of weaving storylines together. Perhaps if i had been reading a printed copy, i could have kept track better of who's who. The ending was satisfying and not melodramatic. Davina Porter is a consummate narrator. I would recommend this novel and I hope to listen to more by this author.

A bit cumbersome but entertaining

Why Mermaids Sing, third book in the Sebastian St. Cyr mysteries, was an excellent historical mystery. I realized I had accidentally skipped book 2, but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment.

Excellent mystery

Each book has improved upon the last, but they really must be read in order. Davina Porter is exceptional, as usual.

Best of the series so far!

I NEVER buy credits, but I did with this series just to hear more. The stories are tight, the unfolding plot book to book is salacious, the characters well "fleshed " out (Oh, I HATE his sister. ) Narration is superb.Greatly enjoying this.

LOVE this series! !!!

No one will read my highly crafted reviews of Audible anyway. None have been posted, but maybe my ratings will serve. I'm tired of wasting my time.

Have really enjoyed the books in this series and love Davina Porter. Always look forward to the next book to find out what Lord Devlin and Tom get into

Great mystery

This book is about 'taboo' subjects of cannibalism on a ship and incest. Many twists and turns until the end. An excellent plot!

Well read by Ms Porter. Each character comes alive. I will continue with this series.
