The Printer's Devil

De: Paul Bajoria

Narrado por: Katherine Kellgren

This entertaining novel is right at home alongside Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist and Leon Garfield’s Smith. In Victorian London, 12-year-old orphan Mog Winter prints wanted posters about all the dangerous villains. When a brute named Cockburn escapes prison, the ink on the posters is barely dry before Mog gets caught up in the criminal underworld. Soon thieves, crooked schemers - even murderers - are hunting Mog, but he doesn’t know why.

Fabulous narration

I have been sad for several years that we lost the amazing talents of Katherine Kellgran. What a gift she had! Every book she narrated comes to life with her amazing range of accents and her excitement as she read the story. I find myself on the edge of my seat as the author intended. Although this is a book intended for young readers, this grandmother really enjoyed it!

Murder and mayhem in old London...

A story that twists and turns with many hateable characters...
I throughly enjoyed it
I loved the narration... she brought the story to life..
the mystery keeps you hanging til the end

Not what I was hoping for…

I work in the printing industry and Katherine Kellgren is one of my all time favorite narrators, so I had to get this book. In all it probably took me 3 times as long to listen to because of all of the times I had to skip back from glazing over. At 2 hours in I started over because I couldn’t follow who the villains were. By the end it was mildly enjoyable but overall a slog to get through.

Mog was actually following the plot of the action that the agents where following through and it was done.

I would not read it again but if you like character details it's for you
