About this listen

December 1940. With the Luftwaffe pounding the city nightly, Londoners seek refuge in underground stations. Aldwych has been taken out of service to provide shelter for the British Museum's priceless Elgin Marbles, as well as civilians escaping the bombing.

When the body of a young man is discovered on the tracks, wearing evening dress but barefoot, Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant Lampson are on the case. Before long, more bodies are discovered, and Coburg's wife Rosa becomes a target for the brutal killer. Caught up in a world of underground jazz clubs, abandoned tube stations and looters, Coburg and Lampson must track down the ruthless murderer before it's too late...

I’ve listen to all the books in the “Museums serie” and the “Hotels serie” by this author, and I personally I prefer the latter.

This is a good mystery, quite intriguing, but compared to previous ones I found it too violent.
I imagine the underworld in London during WWII must have been full of dangers, but some of the twists in the plot were too gory for what I was used to.

The narrator is superb!

Enjoyable, but too violent for my taste

This is the first book I have listened to from this author, and really enjoyed it. It has a good story line and characters that kept me listening to the end. The narrator gave an excellent performance, it was easy to tell the difference characters apart and this added real depth to the whole story. Thank you

Great story line

Nearly finished it, but I often forget or can't be bothered to review. really enjoying it. Narrator is top notch. lf I see his name I know it will be read well. story seems to have many strands. interested to see how it plays out. I actually like the main detective. who is a reluctant toff! Not come accros too much gore as mentioned by another. I don't like that either. But so far so good! I would say we'll worth a credit.

Good Book

Saw this based on an audible recommendation- how lucky am I to have acted upon it. This is a terrific story with some of the best narration I have heard- the character voices are fantastic.
It’s a really good story with characters you engage with .. am about to start book 2 - I simply can’t wait!

What a find!!!!
