About this listen

Will Darling came back from the Great War with a few scars, a lot of medals, and no idea what to do next. Inheriting his uncle's chaotic secondhand bookshop is a blessing...until strange visitors start making threats. First a criminal gang, then the War Office, both telling Will to give them the information they want, or else.

Will has no idea what that information is, and nobody to turn to, until Kim Secretan - charming, cultured, oddly attractive - steps in to offer help. As Kim and Will try to find answers and outrun trouble, mutual desire grows along with the danger.

And then Will discovers the truth about Kim. His identity, his past, his real intentions. Enraged and betrayed, Will never wants to see him again.

But Will possesses knowledge that could cost thousands of lives. Enemies are closing in on him from all sides - and Kim is the only man who can help.

Contains mature themes.

I absolutely enjoyed this story, it's clever characters and the journey they took across the pages. The narrator did a top shelf job with the voices and emotions.

I 've read all books and stories by this author that I have been able to find. Went looking on audible hoping to hear the voices. The narrator sounds just as I thought the main characters would.
Sneaky and secretive is not my favourite but I still enjoyed listening to them working it out. I enjoyed listening to Will stand up for himself and his values, even when he was still trying to figure out what they were

love the stories by this author

Brilliant

The buildup was slow and the dungeon section was tedious. The setting of the bookshop was a bit dull and I feel like we didn't get a full fleshing out of Kim's character. I guess the plan is to unravel more about him as the series goes on. The chemistry between the characters was one part animalistic and nine parts awkward. The narrator did a decent job with so many characters but Inglesby sounded very similar to Libra.

Decent narration. Plot was a bit weak.
