About this listen

A slow-burning romance and a chilling mystery bind two singular men in the suspenseful first book of a new Victorian series from K. J. Charles.

Lodging-house keeper Clem Talleyfer prefers a quiet life. He's happy with his hobbies, his work - and especially with his lodger Rowley Green, who becomes a friend over their long fireside evenings together. If only neat, precise, irresistible Mr. Green were interested in more than friendship....

Rowley just wants to be left alone - at least until he meets Clem, with his odd, charming ways and his glorious eyes. Two quiet men, lodging in the same house, coming to an understanding...it could be perfect. Then the brutally murdered corpse of another lodger is dumped on their doorstep and their peaceful life is shattered. Now Clem and Rowley find themselves caught up in a mystery, threatened on all sides by violent men, with a deadly London fog closing in on them. If they're to see their way through, the pair must learn to share their secrets - and their hearts.

A very good story that kept me intrigued from the beginning to the end. Lots of twists and turns I really enjoyed this and hope to read more in the series.

Awesome

I’ve been riveted, by the character development, the incredible settings and well drawn sense of time and place.

Rushing for part two.

Given how much I enjoyed the Magpie Lord series it’s a shame I found this so boring. Clem was a frustrating character who is kind and accomodating except when it comes to anything that actually matters, like logic and the truth, at which point he’s annoyingly belligerent. His relationship with Rowley left me cold, unlike other works of Charles which have been both delightfully romantic and smoking hot.
Narration was very good

Disappointing

This is the 1st instalment of 3.. audiobook had them listed wrong so I went from 2,3 then 1 … Super annoying but narration is very good except the awful intimacy scenes of ‘yelling’ certain words .. quite baffling for those terms to be used in a period piece of fiction..
over all tho, the trilogy is fun, keeps one guessing .. wished there were more
