About this listen

London 1885:

For Lord Everett Stanley, escaping his fate seemed impossible. As the second son, he’s destined for ordination and the life of a Reverend, but he’s hiding a dangerous secret. The laws punishing homosexuality by hanging may have been repealed but he and others of his kind are far from safe. Given no other choice, they take solace in the underground molly houses of London. Now that fragile world is threatened when the East End is rocked by a series of gruesome murders.

Inspector Archibald Franklin worked hard to overcome his working-class roots, making a name for himself as a respected inspector of Whitechapel’s H Division, but when he begins to investigate the deaths of several beautiful young men, fate throws him into the path of the handsome and enigmatic Lord Stanley. His gut instinct tells him the young lord knows more about the murders than he lets on, but the closer he gets, the more Everett calls to him in a way he’s tried to deny his whole life.

As a reign of terror grips London, they are drawn together in order to stop a monster, but for Archie, the growing feelings he has for Everett are a betrayal of the very laws he has sworn to uphold. And as the killer closes in, the two men find themselves bound together by a passion that may be their ultimate salvation or their utter destruction…

Excellent story line and characters

I do hope there is a following storyline. I was positively upset by the ending of this book and find I have no follow up book to buy. Not happy.

The story isn't that believable

I found the narrator irritating, which spoilt the story for me. The plot wasn't very good either, or not good enough to outweigh the voice.

Spoiled by Narrator

Dreadful sing song narration, which initially I thought might be a bot replicating Joel Leslie's voice and cadence, such were the strange intonations and speech patterns, The real narrator seemed to take over by chapter 5. Instead of sounding "London" the narration sounds down market Australian, and as events are supposed to take place in the Victorian "ton" it is distracting and unsympathetic.

Author seems not to have researched the period (June 1837 - Queen Vic's death in 1901) and peppers inventions from later eras into the tale.

Gave up at hour 3 - couldn't take the narrator. DISAPPOINTING DNF RTD


Thoroughly enjoyedThe Gilded Scarab in the Lancaster's Luck series by Anna Butler in similar genre/period narrated by the excellent Gary Furlong.
