About this listen

The Checquy: a centuries-old covert organisation that protects the nation from supernatural threat. The Grafters: a centuries-old supernatural threat.

After centuries of rivalry and bloodshed, The Checquy and The Grafters are on the verge of joining forces and only one person has the supernatural skills to get the job done - Myfanwy Thomas. But as a wave of gruesome atrocities sweep London, old hatreds ignite and negotiations grind to a halt....

Critic Reviews

"Packed full of twists, O'Malley creates a lively and absorbing world." ( Daily Express on The Rook)
All stars

The only down side was that the narrator doesn't appear to have read the first book. So the pronunciation of Myfanwy is not as described in the first book

Enjoyed the story

The narrator is different from the first book, which wouldn't normally be a big issue as this book is from a different perspective, but it just doesn't work. Her speed is terribly slow, her pronunciation of significant character and place names is inconsistent with the first book, and her accents are way off mark. Had to stop listening because it was too jarring. Daniel O'Malley is a great writer and The Rook was fabulous, so I think I'll buy this as a book instead of the audio version.

Absolutely will come back to Stilleto for a 'reread'. Hard to leave, just want to continue listening.

Incredibly clever.
