About this listen
When Lord Wrexford discovers the body of a gifted inventor in a dark London alley, he promptly alerts the watchman and lets the authorities handle the matter. But Wrexford soon finds himself drawn into the murder investigation when the inventor's widow begs for his assistance, claiming the crime was not a random robbery. It seems her husband's designs for a revolutionary steam-powered engine went missing the night of his death. The plans could be worth a fortune...and very dangerous in the wrong hands.
Joining Wrexford in his investigation is Charlotte Sloane, who uses the pseudonym A. J. Quill to publish her scathing political cartoons. Her extensive network of informants is critical for her work, but she doesn't mind tapping that same web of spies to track down an elusive killer. Each suspect - from ambitious assistants to rich investors, and even the inventor's widow - is entwined in a maze of secrets and lies that leads Wrexford and Sloane down London's most perilous stews and darkest alleyways.

engaging mystery
I realised that usually around the nine hour mark of an audiobook I start wishing they had had a better editor and thinking it really could be over by now. That isn't the case with this series so far, I'm engaged throughout. The narrator does this weird pause thing every few words, regardless of being in the middle of a sentence, but if you can get used to the rhythm of it he's very good with the characterisations. Not sure if I'll buy the next few books, I'd love to continue the story but I usually only buy audiobooks I'll listen to multiple times, and these are more of a one time read. I recommend the series if you like old school Sherlock or the gaslight mysteries series. It can be dense with information at times but you don't have to absorb it all to follow the story.

Enjoyable Story
Light but compelling read. Characters and story are well thought out with a little bit of education of the times. Reader is wonderful.
