Summary

London, May 1665. On a dark road outside London, a simple robbery goes horribly wrong when the gentlemanly highwayman, William Coke, discovers that his intended victims have been brutally slaughtered. Suspected of the murders, Coke is forced into an uneasy alliance with the man who pursues him--the relentless thief-taker, Pitman.

Together they seek the killer and uncover a conspiracy that reaches from the glittering, debauched court of King Charles to the worst slum in the city, St .Giles in the Fields. But there's another murderer moving through the slums, the taverns, and the palaces, slipping under the doorways of the rich. A mass murderer. Plague.

Thoroughly enjoyed this! C C Humphreys is superb at narration. As he knows his characters he manages to bring them alive through voice and expression. Definitely recommend this and would love to hear C C Humphreys narrate more of his work.

Kept me enthralled

Would you listen to Plague again? Why?

Probably not, but I'm not one to return to novels.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Captain Coke of course - such a superb character and darn good bloke.

What does C. C. Humphreys bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Great that this was read by the author, he really put his heart and soul into it. These days I really prefer audio books.

Bring out your dead !

when I saw the story was narrated by the author I thought, oh god another monotonous or speed addicted author with delusions of grandeur.
BUT HOW WRONG WAS I.

A brilliant writer and narrated beautifully with such heart and expression, his range of voices is second to none.
