About this listen

London, 1896. Madame Tussauds opens to find one of its nightwatchmen decapitated and his colleague nowhere to be found. To the police, the case seems simple: one killed the other and fled, but workers at the museum aren’t convinced. Although forbidden contact by his superior officer, Scotland Yard detective John Feather secretly enlists ‘The Museum Detectives’ Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton to aid the police investigation. When the body of the missing nightwatchman is discovered encased within a wax figure, the case suddenly becomes more complex. With questions over rival museums, the dead men’s pasts and a series of bank raids plaguing the city, Wilson and Fenton face their most intriguing and dangerous case yet.

Good lightweight murder/mystery with the characters from his previous museum mysteries, but I found this one a bit repetitive with the same plot being repeated as new people were included rather than X brought up to date. So slower and less absorbing than the others. But as these are always lightweight so ok for a holiday listen.

Good but…

A great story, with lots of information on Sir Auther Conan Doyle. It flows nicely, and the action is constant throughout. This is my first read of this author, but I will read more.

A thoroughly good whodunit

I agree with another reviewer: this book is fine, it kept me good company while driving, but I found the plot a little repetitive.
I actually like the detectives’ books by Jim Eldridge, but lately the ones featuring Abigayle and Daniel are just not that intriguing to me, I prefer the serie with DCI Coburg and Rosa.

I find that the characters here haven’t developed that much from the earlier books.

The narrator is excellent, a real pleasure to listen.

An alright read, but not as engaging as previous books
