Of all the crackpot schemes...

Delicious in every way, this triple book of dirty deeds is gloriously written by Richard Storry, a visual and gastric delight providing a colourful background to an amusing story of thefts and double dealing. There is even a recipe for Wilhelm's delectable chocolate Tiffin
The first three titles are included:
- A Looming of Vultures
- A Nest of Vipers
- A Shroud of Darkness.
Set amongst the glitterati of Ruritania, it is so atmospheric it is almost possible to hear the medals clink and jowls tremble. The combining of of the pomposity of the high officials and the titled with humour, as well as the background horror as cloaked figures meet by lantern light to plot murder and mayhem is simply delicious.

If the story alone were not delicious enough, it is read by the superb Jake Urry, whose voice can be both warmly inclusive and simultaneously chilling. He is pace perfect, charismatic, and his portrayal of the various protagonists from the military men to the unhappy Willie are always individually suited. He lifts the story to even greater heights ( or should that be depths?). A superb melding of story and narrator.

A great book to cause both creepy tingles and smiles. My thanks to the rights holder for freely gifting me a complimentary copy, at my request, via Audiobook Boom.- just peep in, eavesdrop the nefarious intrigues - and enjoy.

Superb Trilogy Of Books

I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy of books by the brilliant Richard Storry, they were full of amazing characters and the plots were fantastic, I was kept fully emerged in the wonderful stories for hours.
A special mention goes to the excellent narrator Jake Urry who brought each story to a different level with his wonderful narration.
I highly recommend these books to everyone.

“For a very short time, the nest of vultures became a nest of vipers”

Such a great listen, I was absorbed from the very beginning. Such good plots, really well written with charming gentlemanly-rogues and suspenseful situations that leave you on the edge of your seat.
Brilliant narrator, perfectly suited to read this story with great voices that belong to these characters 100%!
I wasn’t sure what to expect as both narrator and author were new to me, but I’m so glad I took the risk! I hope you do too!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.
