Publisher's summary

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.

Good story & characters

I listened to this book on audible. Very enjoyable. Good story. Good characters. I didn't give it 5 stars because that would mean it was perfect. Nothing is perfect. I will be looking for more of the same in audible.

Cartoon characters

Shame the narrator had such trouble with female voices. Betty Boops with English accents. The voices created characters you couldn’t take seriously and demeaned a character’s intelligence every time they opened their mouths.

Jim Eldridge, Author

Sorry to say, but this author has pulled my ability to stay in his books by giving his characters little remarks (long time no see) that I don't think people said in the late eighteen hundreds. I think someone should have told him about it before now.

Annoying lady voices

I was annoyed by the way the narrator voiced female characters. No dimension besides comically shrill.
