About this listen

1894. A well-respected academic is found dead in a gentlemen’s convenience cubicle at the British Museum, the stall locked from the inside. Professor Lance Pickering had been due to give a talk promoting the museum’s new 'Age of King Arthur' exhibition when he was stabbed repeatedly in the chest. Having forged a strong reputation working alongside the inimitable Inspector Abberline on the Jack the Ripper case, Daniel Wilson is called in to solve the mystery, and he brings his expertise and archaeologist Abigail Fenton with him.

I loved this book and the first one before this. I love a series of a detective and that he is shown to have a proper human side. ... romance entwined. Brilliant cant wait for more of Daniel and Abigail's cases. And Peter Wickham is a brilliant narrator perfect all round.

Great combination of crime and romance

With this second novel in his Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton series Jim Eldridge is clearly getting into his stride. The story hangs together and flows more smoothly than in his first novel, and he is getting to grips with his characters so that they seem more substantial. It's a good plot, which moves along quite quickly and the true villain isn't identified until a late stage in the story. The characters are meant to be somewhat larger than life and he plays around with some of the stereotypes, which adds to the fun. A good, easy listening story.

I have to admit I returned this title. I wanted the plot to be good but it was flat, the desire to make Abigail a stronger female character for her day seemed forced. Trying too hard almost. Strong female characters are great but constantly reminding the reader with stereotypes is dated. I kept on falling asleep instead of listening to this. Such a shame because the idea seemed so promising.

A bit flat

What a delightful listen! Book 2 in the museum series doesn’t disappoint. The story was wonderfully crafted and a real
Strength is the conversations between the characters which is natural and engaging. A great twist of who the killer was - I didn’t get it! Highly recommended.

Jim & narrator Peter do it again!

Good performance for so many parts. Well written for a historical detective series that has interesting characters and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing till the end.

Well performed and well written
