About this listen
Cyrus Barker is undoubtedly England's premiere private enquiry agent. With the help of his assistant, Thomas Llewelyn, he's developed an enviable reputation for discreetly solving some of the toughest, most consequential cases in recent history. But one evening in 1888, Robert Anderson, the head of Scotland Yard's Criminal Investigation Department (CID), appears at Barker's office with an offer. A series of murders in the Whitechapel area of London are turning the city upside down, with tremendous pressure being brought to bear on Scotland Yard and the government itself. Barker is to be named temporary envoy to the Royal Family with regard to the case while surreptitiously bringing his investigative skill to the case. With various elements of society, high and low, bringing their own agendas to increasingly shocking murders, Barker and Llewellyn must find and hunt down the century's most notorious killer.
Though the Whitechapel Killer has managed to elude the finest minds of Scotland Yard - and beyond - he's never faced a mind as nimble and a man as skilled as Cyrus Barker. But even Barker's prodigious skills may not be enough to track down a killer in time.

Possibly the best story in the series so far.
I am a devoted fan of this series and was delighted with this installment. It was refreshing to see our two heroes move away from their usual orbit of house, garden, Ho's tearoom, etc. Will Thomas has created exciting yet gentlemanly heroes without making either of them foppish or tediously self-absorbed. Female characters are well drawn and fully realised, not just there to model "Victoriana" and fret about the menfolk.
The narrator makes a big mistake towards the end of the book, when he uses a completely different voice for the character Robert Anderson to the gruff Irish accent used for Anderson at the start. Otherwise, the narration is as pleasant and professional as we have come to expect in the Barker & Llewellyn series.
