A local lord asks him to track the killer of a young woman whose bones have been found in the castle cesspit.

Alan, the beadle of the manor of Bampton, had gone out at dusk to seek those who might violate curfew. When, the following morning, he had not returned home, his young wife Matilda had sought out Master Hugh de Singleton, surgeon and bailiff of the manor. Two days later Alan’s corpse was discovered in the hedge, at the side of the track to St. Andrew’s Chapel. His throat had been torn out - his head was half severed from his body - and his face, hands, and forearms were lacerated with deep scratches.

Publisher's Summary
London, 1882. Alec Lonsdale, a young reporter on the Pall Mall Gazette, is working on a story about a fatal house fire. But the postmortem on the victim produces shocking results: Patrick Donovan's death was no accident. But why would someone murder a humble shop assistant and steal part of his brain?
When a second body is discovered, its throat cut, and then a third, Lonsdale and his spirited female colleague, Hulda Friederichs, begin to uncover evidence of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest echelons of Victorian society.

When will the next one be out?
I enjoyed this very much. So far as historical fiction goes, not as much as Graham Moore’s “The Last Days of Night,” but quite enough to have me searching for the next or prior “Alec Lonsdale Victorian Mystery” before the book was even done. (Only to be disappointed to find this was the first of the series with apparently no next one yet announced.) And I only had to look up one word (lugubrious: mournful, dismal, or gloomy). 😉😃

OUTSTANDING STORY AND NARRATOR!
I am now a fan of Simon Beaufort's books and Johnathan Keeble narrating them! A gripping, gritting, suspenseful story read beautifully by Jonathan Keeble. The plot twists were believable and suspenseful. I will keep watching for more books by Beaufort and hope that Jonathan Keeble is the narrator.

Book one was narrated by Jonathan Keeble and promised to make a good series great, so WHY did they change the narrator for book 2 ?! Mr Keeble really gives his all the fight scenes and the voice he uses for the waspish fiance of Jack is hilarious and perfect.

If you are a fan of Victorian detective thrillers then this is a must read. Unlike many audiobooks the narration is excellent and the plot gripping right to the end. I will be searching for more by the same team.
