Summary
In the gripping novel by the author of The Fourteenth Letter, a lawyer in Victorian London must find a man he got off a murder charge - and who seems to have killed again....
Victorian London, 1882. Five years ago, crusading lawyer Cage Lackmann successfully defended Moses Pickering against a charge of murder. Now, a body is found bearing all the disturbing hallmarks of that victim - and Pickering is missing. Did Cage free a brutal murderer?
Cage's reputation is in tatters, and worse, he is implicated in this new murder by the bitter detective who led the first failed case. Left with no other alternative, Cage must find Pickering to prove his innocence.
Did Cage free a brutal murderer? Or is there something more sinister at work?

Meh
Lacks coherence. People’s characters are all over the place. A massive set to is signalled but goes off with a whimper, the murderer is an extremely minor character and it all ties up just in time for tea.

A page-turner (so to speak)
If you enjoy historical fiction, give it a listen. The narrator has done well to complement moments of suspense with a captivating performance.

I really enjoyed this book.
A good narrator and a good story.
Although this was a free book with my account, I enjoyed it enough to but the second book too.

needed a strong editor
possibly a reasonable book is hidden inside this one. A strong editor might have brought that out.
But as is, it takes hours to get going then has the lawyer investigating a murder for no good reason and goes downhill from there. Couldnt finish it and skimmed to the end, where it would appear all the things flagged in the first three hours come to pass.
That said, characters act for odd reasons, set pieces are damp squibs and it's overall so average I'm writing this as a note to myself not to read more by the author. A shame as the writing is fairly good - just the plot, character, substance and point that seem average. Will be returning the book.
