About this listen

London, 1882. Alec Lonsdale, a young reporter on the Pall Mall Gazette, is working on a story about a fatal house fire. But the postmortem on the victim produces shocking results: Patrick Donovan's death was no accident. But why would someone murder a humble shop assistant and steal part of his brain?

When a second body is discovered, its throat cut, and then a third, Lonsdale and his spirited female colleague, Hulda Friederichs, begin to uncover evidence of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest echelons of Victorian society.

I think this is the first book I've read by Simon Beaufort, but I can't wait to read more. It is fast paced, very exciting, and action packed throughout. There are believable characters who all have a place in this thrilling story. Don't miss out. Brilliantly read by Jonathan Keeble, who brings the story, and the characters, to life. Awesome listen.

Grisly murders, eugenics and mad scientists in a well crafted mystery. The squalor of the East End is graphically portrayed.

Convoluted Victorian mystery

I really enjoyed this first book in what I hope will become a series. Jonathan Keeble is probably my favourite narrator so that was a big plus. The book , set in victorian England , touched on the more outlandish scientific theories of the day. The protagonists are journalists , which makes a change. The story was gripping and the book rattled along at a great pace . Looking forward to the next day me .

Really enjoyed this!
