Lost and Gone Forever

De: Alex Grecian

Narrado por: John Curless

The shocking conclusion to the battle between Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad and Jack the Ripper, from the bestselling author of The Yard.

Many changes have happened to the Murder Squad. Rash actions have cost Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith his job, and in response he has set up his own private detective agency. Inspector Walter Day has been missing for a year, and no one knows where he is—though there is a strong suspicion that Saucy Jack has him. Hammersmith has made finding Day his primary case, and he has company—a pair of bounty hunters, a man and a woman. It is only gradually that he has come to realize that they are not what they seem. . . .

Intriguing Series

From first book, The Yard to this Lost and Gone Forever I enjoyed the narration and the mystery of the books. Recommend listening to anyone who enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes collection.

Jack's back!

Another stellar work from Alex Grecian! Just when you think there can't be any more plot twists, another comes along. I've never had a book keep me awake at night trying to figure out what will happen next. This one did! The characters are totally believable and some quite loveable, like Mr. Halfpenny.

Intriguing

Well written and interesting. The only part that seemed pointless was the Ana story, but that’s my opinion.

By far the best book of the series

I started this series about 1 month ago and fell in love with the characters and the writing. Book 1 is not that gruesome and book 2 is midly so. By book 3 it is full blown guts and gore but the storyline keeps you going. I will stick with this series for as long as Alex Grecian continues to write them. He is an amazing author.

Gruesome as ever

Finding a good detective story without sex and swearing is difficult. I suppose I can bend to a little gruesomeness. That said, this book is very well done and ties up many loose ends left over from the previous book. Grecian never seems to run out of new monsters with which to unnerve us and he leaves us in a good place to bring about a particularly troubling one for his next book. I am glad that he does not play a "Game of Thrones" with us by killing off our heroes, but he still leaves us unsettled from the loss of one of his characters. I only wish he had not taken the one he did or irritate us with male insensitivity toward women. It is barely tolerable that the heroes are slow to pick up clues and lag behind the villains until the very end, but to compound it with male stupidity pushes tolerance to its limits.

Grecian sets a consistent tone throughout his books and the narration of John Curless is excellent in expanding the mood. His narration of Jack is marvelously creepy.
