Dragon Ripper

The Detectivists, Book 1

De: Melanie Bacon

Narrado por: Beverley Murray

Astraia Holmes, sister of Sherlock, is baffled by a series of bizarre and brutal murders committed by a dragon-like assailant, and desperately wishing to impress her brother and solve the crimes, she teams up with a mysterious and brilliant young woman Madeleine Barquist.

Sherlock suspects an ancient malevolence at work, and he fears for Astraia's safety. The signs point to a Chinese dragon god cult known as the Ya Zi, a warrior society originally formed 2,000 years ago to assassinate enemies of the emperor.

Astraia is exultant to finally have a chance to use her own deduction skills, but Miss Barquist is fearful to meet the eye of Sherlock Holmes - for, unknown to both Astraia and Sherlock, she is the daughter of Jack the Ripper, and unknown to them all, a dark and powerful evil is preparing to strike at the heart of London.

Wonderful!

Very exciting. Love seeing a murder mystery through a woman’s eyes. Fun to think of London years ago and a new take on Jack the Ripper. Excellent voice quality, a pleasure to listen to.
