About this listen

London, 1842. There has been a mysterious and horrible death at the Reform, London's newest and grandest gentleman's club.

A death the club is desperate to hush up.

Captain William Avery is persuaded to investigate and soon discovers a web of rivalries and hatreds, both personal and political, simmering behind the club's handsome façade - and in particular concerning its resident genius, Alexis Soyer, 'the Napoleon of food', a chef whose culinary brilliance is matched only by his talent for self-publicity. But Avery is distracted, for where is his mentor and partner-in-crime, Jeremiah Blake? And what if this first death was only a dress rehearsal for something far more sinister?

Most relevant
In need of editing - rather repetitive, but I enjoy stories about the era and it was interesting becoming acquainted with some real historical characters such as Alexis Soyer, the chef, and Wakley, founder of the Lancet.

Narration and sound quality was excellent.

Too long, but enjoyable enough
