Summary
A stranger and foreigner arrives at the offices of a small publication in London only to be faced by the “editor” whose face is completely swathed in a veil. Nothing is as it seems, and it quickly becomes evident that both are bent on more than lively gossip about the elite. Blackmail and opportunism is the order of the day. When two men are found shot to death outside the door of Mr. Farrington the millionaire who just happens to live a few doors from T. B. Smith, the head of the secret police, the connections to blackmail are not long in coming. Were these men shot by the blackmailer? Who is actually what he seems to be? (Summary by Don W. Jenkins)

It’s ok I don’t like the boys that reading the book doesn’t sound realistic

Profile Avatar Judy L. Jun 2018

Good book, started off a little slow.

Ran Mattison... A good story, sometimes a little difficult to follow. Good job with the narration

Profile Avatar Caserina H. Dec 2019

It was difficult for me to follow the story as I was not in sync with the narrator.

Profile Avatar Debbie POTTER Apr 2026

Excellent story a bit disjointed at times but the ending was interesting... recommended for murder mystery fans!

Narrator is horrible

A bit of a weird tail

Ssss

Profile Avatar Raynola Mar 2025

This may very well be an excellent book,but I could not get through the first couple of chapters, the narration was very grating. My kindest commentary would be that I would never purchase another book with the same reader. I wanted to rate zero stars, however, I was not allowed; thus, the one star.

Didn’t like voice

Profile Avatar Lady A Jan 2025

Wow!! the book is super interesting and I enjoyed every bit of it. The narrator did a good job too

Profile Avatar Lyn Sep 2024

hard too listen to

Not my cup of tea

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

The story line was great. I was to thrilled with the narrator. The voice was to monotone. I loved the mystery and the twist and turns of the story.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2023

Took a bit to get into it

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2023

Found it hard to understand the narrator.

Profile Avatar Kay H. May 2023

I didn't want to even give it 1 star! The narrator is yhe worst I have listened to. I could not finish the book, he is that wooden.

Profile Avatar Amberkline44 Apr 2023

not a good narrator good book

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2023

It was a good mystery, a little bit confusing with one narrator doing all the voices. Although, that being said, he did a pretty good job of narrating all the characters.

Profile Avatar PapaWholeWheat Jul 2022

the voice fits the story, it's a little hard to follow at times but It was fun

Profile Avatar Valerie P. Jun 2022

This is an older book, which I often enjoy but it was difficult to follow and the sing song voice of the narrator was very distracting. Typically I listen to my selections at least twice, not this book.

Profile Avatar Sherry L. Jul 2021

I thought I would give this book ago as the reviews were mixed. Unfortunately I’m on the side of the people that didn’t like the narrator. Bizarre accents made it hard to follow, I couldn’t finish the book.

Profile Avatar Ali K. Jul 2021

Did not finish as the book was not very interesting to me and the narrator was annoying and not great.

Profile Avatar Heidi B. Mar 2021

Really difficult to get into this book and narration is terrible.

Profile Avatar Kelly C. Feb 2021

Not for me

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2021

The story starts slow but is okay

Profile Avatar Pam B. Nov 2020

Captivating indeed.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2020

I haven't finished the book yet, but so it's really good. I like the way the Narrator speaks.

Profile Avatar JACQUELINE Miller Nov 2020

Could be better

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2020

It was good, sometimes I do not know what he is saying but is good.

Profile Avatar CaptTamagochi Oct 2020

Couldn’t get into it. The narrator’s forced accent for different characters was a bit of a distraction

Profile Avatar Kristi G Apr 2017

It's a book that will keep you engaged from the beginning to the end due to the variety of plots that occur
