Resumen del Editor

The discovery of a young woman’s body drifting down the Thames, her hair adorned with flowers and her legs wrapped in blue silk like a mermaid’s tail, presents Lord Jason Redmond and Inspector Daniel Haze with a puzzling new mystery. Who was she, why was she murdered, and what led the killer to leave her body displayed this way? Was it an act of love, meant to make the victim appear beautiful in death, or was there a more sinister reason?

As Redmond and Haze delve deeper into her life, they learn that the victim harbored shocking secrets and had crossed paths with a feared kingpin of London’s criminal underworld.

Will Redmond and Haze solve the murder before the killer strikes again?

Another great book by Irina Shapiro.

I love all of Irina Shapiros books. The Redmond and Haze books are among my very favorite. I thought the new narrator did wonderfully. I know people are complaining but the previous narrator wanted to do other things, I think she chose an excellent narrator,

Great story- ok narration

Another wonderful story, but narration was a small distraction. The voice of Jason did not fit well, pacing was off. Still excited for #12!

The “who did it” was hard to catch and trap!

Another great tale by Irina Shapiro! The story was woven with rich descriptions into a tapestry that was surprising and fulfilling. The twists and turns had me guessing (often incorrectly) as to who the culprit was so the ending was a surprise but made complete sense once the picture came into view. The narrator (a new one to this series) did a great job once I made the shift in my mind from hearing the characters in the previous person’s voice. The author does a good job of presenting the challenges women face in times gone by.

Terrible Narration

The story was great! Irina Shapiro doesn't disappoint, but the narration was terrible! I don't think the narrators should change in the middle of a book series.

Terrible Narration

I usually love this series, but the narration was a hard listen it was bad. Please change or something.

Another Installment To A Cracking Good Series

It's always nice to settle in with another Redmond and Haze novel, and this story does not disappoint. The procedural aspect of this Victorian series is interesting and well researched, and the characters are deeply fleshed out and believable. Semi-spoiler alert: This book leaves us with a startling cliffhanger. Hope Ms. Shapiro hurries up with the next installment.
On a different note: We have a new narrator for this series, Alex Lee. I liked her voice and thought she did a good job with the characters.

Wonderful!

Once again Ms. Shapiro has created a mystery that has you wondering who did it and why. You’re transported to Victorian England and with her visual imaging thru words. I liked Ms. Wolfson’s narration but found Alex to be equally as good. I can’t wait for the next installment of this mystery series.

Another great cliffhanger

I was worried when starting this book, as I made the mistake of reading all of the reviews. With the new narrator, I agree it is like changing an actor in a long standing series. But she did fabulously! She adapted, and yes it was different, but still great. I could tell she injected her own personality into the reading. Another great story, and although a bit darker than some of the crimes they have had to deal with….the way the author wrote their hesitations and apprehension was so well done. I am eager to see what happens next, as Irina has left us with a cliffhanger of the utmost this time around! Thanks for another great listen/read!

Redmond and Haze #11

Consistently great story lines. Alex, the new voice actor, made the transition seamlessly.
Fantastic!

Thoroughly enjoyed

The new narrator is good and has a knack for character depiction. Waiting for the next…
