About this listen

London, 1895. Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton have been hired by the Natural History Museum to find out who deliberately smashed the fossilised skeleton of a small dinosaur.

At first Daniel is reluctant to take the case, pointing out that they deal in murders, not vandalism. But then one of the attendants in the dinosaur room is murdered, his body found tied to a dinosaur skeleton and a note pinned to him saying 'The price of betrayal'. As Daniel and Abigail investigate, they must negotiate a web of legal and professional tensions.

This is not going to be a simple case to solve....

Mrs Smith’s was a surprise

Mrs Smith’s involvement was a big surprise to me. I enjoyed all the twists and turns in the story. Of course, the dialog and vocabulary used is written for our current time and not for 1895. Creative language license accepted. Very enjoyable series.

historical errors

while taking liberties in a story set in the past are reasonable, there are several here. 1. to date no woman has ever been the director of the British natural history museum. Dr Helen Muir-Wood , curator of Brachiopods got this post in 1919 and appears to be the first. The first skeleton of Tyrannosaurus rex was discovered in 1902 in Hell Creek, Montana The first triceratops was discovered in 1887 and wasn't described until O.C. Marsh in 1889. .Depictions of the Dinosauria were of reptiles, not as they are depicted today. Founded in 1881 as an offshoot of the British Museum, the Natural History Museum (NHM) in London would have been brand new. These are unforced errors and weren't needed.
