About this listen

His heart pounding, the man scribbles the words in his notebook as fast as he can: “Woman dead in Highgate. Man in caped coat. Milky way and red streaks. I’m being followed.”

Hours later, the man’s cold body lies in the city mortuary, alongside the woman he couldn’t save. And his sister, unconventional nurse Gemma Tate, tracks down troubled police inspector Sebastian Bell to unravel the truth.

Sebastian has enough pressure to solve the murder of an aristocratic heiress without Gemma meddling in his case. But the cryptic sentences she brings him from her brother’s notebook could be a crucial lead. If only they knew what “milky way” meant. But as the trail of clues takes them away from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobility and into the dangerous slums of London, how far will their partnership be tested on the quest for justice, and will they both emerge unscathed?

The story was good and kept me interested. Didn’t like the narrator I think a male voice would have been more appropriate.

Interesting

I've enjoyed listening to the Redman and Haze series and whilst this is also a well written start to this series, the storyline here was a lot more grim than I anticipated. Still a good listen with good characters but not one to relax to!

Good characters, grim storyline

unfortunately the narrator ruined it for me, it was as if she were performing a stage play. it was far too exaggerated and over the top. The story itself was good which is frustrating because i would have kept going with the series.

Narrator dissatisfaction.
