In the city of Queen Mab, nothing is quite as it seems. Pariah, spy and Inquisitorial agent Alizebeth Bequin is all of these things and yet none of them.

Publisher's Summary
Book two in the Bequin series
Alizebeth Bequin's world has been turned upside-down. Now she must choose who she will follow as Inquisitors Eisenhorn and Ravenor battle to discover the secrets at the heart of Queen Mab.
Listen to it because
The latest chapter in Dan Abnett's Inquisition saga is here, and it's packed with shocking twists and stunning revelations that will change the way you look at the Warhammer 40,000 universe forever.
The story
In the mysterious city of Queen Mab, the forces of light and darkness are locked in a murderous struggle for truth. The dedicated agents of the Holy Inquisition battle with their shadowy counterparts, the infamous Cognitae, to discover the encrypted identity of the enigmatic, all-powerful King in Yellow. Caught at the heart of this struggle is the pariah Alizebeth Bequin. Will she stand with the Inquisition or with the Cognitae that raised her? And if she chooses the Inquisition, will it be the wise but ruthless Ravenor or his rival, the denounced heretic Eisenhorn? Bequin must withstand an onslaught of angels, daemons, and even the monstrous warriors of the Traitor Legions, to unpick the greatest riddle of her life.
The beloved characters of Eisenhorn and Ravenor return, as implaccable adversaries in a novel of esoteric mystery, macabre intrigue, and vivid action, where the revelation of true identity could mean death...or might shake the Imperium to its very foundations.

Hooked again.
As a fan of the setting I couldn't be more intrigued and excited by this story and where it might go next. What an incredible universe has spring from this man's imagination.... I liked the performance of Penitent more than Pariah, some of the male character voices are still a bit clunky but it is a colossal achievement from one performer. That said, I have never liked how Harlon Nayl has been voiced in any of the audio books - but I couldn't do any better so there you have it.
Overall, a wonderful addition to the 40k universe, with all of the frailties and strengths of baseline humanity. Can't wait for the next one.

Pure storytelling brilliance in 40K Universe
These kinds of stories are everything I love about the W40K Universe. If anything this trilogy is shaping up to eclipse both Ravenor and Eisenhorns story arcs. Ms. Keeley's masterful narration brings the story to life in ways few of her peers can match. I'm short, if you love W40K stories, buy this book already!

An Absolutely Ridiculous Rollercoaster Ride
I enjoyed the other two series some stuff seems a bit farfetched but this is like two bickering old people one upping each other with long tales. Name drops, reaching out for far too much 40k lore in one book. I'm honestly surprised everyone didn't turn out to be gene stealer hybrids. I'm also assuming the next book will have the necrons make an appearance and the gang will need to team up with them to stop a lost primarch who ate a katan. Who knows even Horus might make an appearance and team up with the gang as well. My jibes seem ridiculous but if you listen to this you'll probably agree. Completely within the scope of possibility with how things are going at this point. The latest book of Gaunts Ghosts was pretty ridiculous as well and I remember not enjoying that one so much as well, guess it's just Dan's way now. Also WTF is up with the spider body control, there is literal mind control, blueberry coercion, Tyranid coercion and warp shinanograms but the weird method of body control is spider vore. Entertaining but feels wrong, it's like a book written for a different setting with sprinkles of 40k to try and make it 40k instead of whatever it was actually meant to be.

A Masterpiece
I stepped into the Bequin series with slight trepidation, not having heard Helen's (the narrator’s) work before and was almost instantly captivated by her performance. Never before have I looked at my audiable browser willing that clock to turn back and there be more story to come.
Penitent, is a seminal work for D.A.. He perfectly courts the 40K tropes, while simultaneously building upon his previous works breathing life into this world. He balances his work between the strength of bolter and blade, before he masterfully allows the true horror of the universe to creep in.
The author stamps his mark on this world, as the setting subtly becomes Victorian London. Accompanying this shift come some charming parallels, be it (spoilers) a caricature of Aleister Crowely, or a Ravengaurd fighting in a “murderous” way. You feel like the author is there, giving you the subtle wink as each of these quirks appear.
My only wish, is that we don’t have to wait so long for the next instalment. However, if it’s this good, it is most definitely worth the wait.

Everything I wanted it to be and more!
I cannot recommend it enough! To have more Eisenhorn, Ravenor and Bequin is amazing. I have loved it very twist , turn, horror, reveal, fight and description. The only sadness is there is only one more book! Made me want to go back and start from the beginning as soon as I had finished as it was such a pleasure to listen to. The voice acting is incredible, and without Helen Keeley I really think the book wouldn't have been such an incredible experience. Can't say that for many books.

Probably my most favourite Dan Abnett
Loved this book so much. So many scenes where I was thinking "How could this be?!". They are also the best kind of mysteries where it doesn't diminish from the story if they are never explained in the third book. The best book from an already great author
