About this listen

David Gemmell was the UK's number one fantasy and historical novelist until his death in 2006. A regular Sunday Times best seller and international sensation, his legacy lives on through his novels, his influence on the genre and the David Gemmell Legend awards.

Rhyming Rings is a never-before-seen Gemmell novel discovered in his papers by his widow, Stella Gemmell. Merging autobiographical details of Gemmell's life as a journalist in South London with a serial killer and a tinge of the supernatural, this is perfect for fans of David's work as well as fans of gritty crime novels. Set against the backdrop of a London simmering with poverty, change and racial tension, this taut thriller is a fitting legacy for the great writer.

This book includes a brand-new introduction from massive Gemmell fan Conn Iggulden and an afterword by Gemmell's friend Stan Nicholls.

An ambidextrous killer is murdering women, leaving virtually no evidence behind, and struggling journalist Jeremy Miller wishes he was covering the case. Instead he's stuck with heartwarming local stories about paraplegic teenagers and elderly psychic ladies. So when his stories and the murder case start to converge, no one is more surprised than Jeremy.

Or, it turns out, more at risk.

Read by Max Dowler.

An excellent novel.

My second Gemmell novel so far. Strangely, no one recommended him when I was at school. Everyone was saying: you have to read Eddings or you have to read The Sword of Shannara. So I came to Gemmell late in my 40s.

Waylander was a fantastic start. I decided to read this novel as a palate cleanser between The first and second Waylander novels.

I found it highly entertaining, I knew who the killer was as soon as he landed on the page; but Gemmell is a sharp writer, so I suspect I was supposed to know at that point.

My only criticism would be that the end felt a little crowded, with too many heroes, playing a part.

The Forword and Afterword added wonderful insight into the author, his career, and the odd fact that this book failed to be published when it was written.

It deserved to be and I’m glad to have had the chance to experience and enjoy it.

I do believe I’m going to become quite the David Gemmell fan.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
