About this listen

Dark Tide Rising is the 24th compelling mystery in the William Monk series, from the master of Victorian crime, New York Times best-selling author Anne Perry.

When Kate Exeter is kidnapped on the shore of the Thames, Commander William Monk is enlisted by her desperate husband to save her. Kate's captors are demanding a ransom for her safe return, and Monk and his most trusted men must arrange a secret handover in the dark slums of Jacob's Island. But on the night someone betrays them, and a brutal skirmish breaks out, leaving death and destruction in its wake....

Who is to blame for what went wrong? Monk senses tensions mount, and no one knows who to trust. Then a whistle-blower claims that the ransom money was embezzled funds that incriminate Kate's husband, and the case takes on a whole new meaning....

Excellent story

This story of Monk and his team was excellent with a depth of characterisation that was very interesting. The storyline kept me wanting more and I couldn’t put it down. I love her stories of Monk and Hester and crew!

Not what I expect

This may have been an entertaining book, I really have enjoyed the other William Monk books on audible, but I guess we’ll never know because of the narration. The narration is really awful, and to add to it the sound quality is sub par, and I just couldn’t stand listening to it. I tried, but gave up.
