About this listen

Taking a short cut home beneath the ruined abbey in the Yorkshire city of Eborby, a teenage girl reports stumbling across a body.

But with the body nowhere to be found, her inebriated state and troubled history leaves the police sceptical of her story. Only Detective Joe Plantagenet is inclined to believe her.

Meanwhile, Joe finds himself caught in the midst of an investigation into a production of The Devils at the local Playhouse when a young girl is reported missing. Could the play, with its shocking religious and sexual violence, have something to do with her disappearance? And could it explain the mysterious sighting of the body beneath the abbey?

I have read many Kate Ellis books and find them all a great read. I got this as an audiobook with Gordon Griffin reading. I really enjoyed this story and would recommend it.
This is set in the historical city of Eborby. It starts with a young girl leaving a public house alone fearing being followed. She stops in an alleyway near cathedral ruins and sees a murdered woman plus a nun looking ghost like.
There is a high fog in the city giving everything a ghost like supernatural feel. There is also a clairvoyant messing with the minds of the local bereaved.
Joe is an interesting character and he helps to solve the mystery eventually.
I would say that Kate Ellis chooses Gordon Griffin to read her books. I personally cannot see why. The reading is dire and totally took from my enjoyment of the story. I hope a different narrator will be chosen in the future.
