Follows the thread of the series, but...
A little too explicit with the blood and gore (I literally gagged during one scene) and depressing as hell. The plot was engrossing and not easily surmised; however the excessive descriptions of violent death and maimings detracted from the story. I can give credit that my visceral response means it's written with great talent. That being said, I probably will not continue with this series...

So much better than much of the genre
It's hard not to like all of the characters, but I love the mix of Sidney Grice, so much is dislikable by modern standards yet is true to his character, somehow therefore endearing & hilarious. March Middleton provides the perfect foil (& often relief!) to him. Molly is perfectly priceless, I'm considering buying the actual books just to see her language in print. The plots are complex, not the easiest to guess at, can take the right kinds of twists but also don't shy away from tragedy & poignancy. Looking forward to more & can most definitely recommend a listen. One of the best things, as with all Audible books, is the narrator - brilliant & sets the tone & each character wonderfully

A trifle predictable.
I really love this series. I have enjoyed them all, including this one.
The characters are original, flawed but sympathetically wrought and I really like the quirky detail that Kasasian always adds to the narrative. I think this writer is quite special. He completely manages to make the experience of the reader incredibly satisfying without plauging those of us with a weary mind with deep philosophical questions. I think this path requires a great deal of skill and cleverness. Kasasian's clever but he conveys it subtly, unlike his main protagonist, the unintentionally hilarious Sidney Grice. His gin-soaked side-kick, the narrative voice, is also adorable.
The reader, Emma Gregory, does a fine job as she has throughout the series. So, why not five stars? As soon as the prodigal inspector returns offering a happy ending you know where it's going... I don't like to KNOW an ending, I want to suspect.

Brilliant
I am enjoying this series so much, the characters are superb, forcing me to have many a chuckle. Mr Grice is softening just a little, but is still his haughty and acerbic self. Meanwhile March is developing some of his traits - they are a good match for each other and their skills in the detecting department are second to none.
I think there will be a long wait before book 6 :-(

Another good story from Gower Street
Emma Gregory does this book proud yet again her range of voices is great. Especially Molly the maid, she makes me laugh she's so funny. Mr Grace is still a grumpy old guy and so rude to everyone but he always seems to solve the crimes.He is March's guardian but I don't know how she puts up with him he is always putting her down. A good story, funny and clever.

Once again we venture to the dark side of Victorian London in the company of Grice and March. We meet a variety of characters, have our wits and emotions stretched to the limit following a twisty plot with a great ending. Don't know how we will endure the wait for the next one.

Should make it into a TV show
Great story and characters, funny and disturbing at times, highly recommended to those who like books of this genre.

March never gets a break.
The narration is very good, it is easy to forget it is one person talking, the sign of a great narrator. Does March ever get a happy ending? All the books I have heard so far she is either getting arrested or has someone she cares about killed. I understand she needs to stay with Mr Grice but it would have been nice for George Pound to stay alive and they stay engaged at least. In this book it seems very dangerous to be around her as even her Club associates are killed. I really enjoyed the book and found myself wondering who was going to get killed next. Very easy listening and I would recommend the series to anyone who wants to laugh at the verbal sniping between March and Mr Grice and listen to Molly getting everything mixed up.
