About this listen

Lewis Romayne returns to the family home, Vange Abbey, after a fatal duel in France–the memory of which still haunts him. In an attempt to put the experience behind him, he visits London where he meets Stella Eynecourt, who will become his wife. However, Romayne also comes across the cunning Father Benwell, who is determined to convert him to Catholicism and to regain Vange Abbey for the Church.

Father Benwell stops at nothing to achieve his end, including the revelation of a dark secret from the past. His scheming and malevolence recalls the better-known villain Count Fosco, from Collins’s The Woman in White.

Published in 1881, The Black Robe is one of Collins’s later novels and is here presented in a multi-voice production featuring a host of popular audiobook actors.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Really enjoyed this book. All the narrators were excellent, although I do not think the narration was improved by varying the voices.
