Who Will Remember

Sebastian St. Cyr Mysteries, Book 20

De: C. S. Harris

Narrado por: Tom Kiteley

The macabre murder of a prominent nobleman throws an already unsettled London into chaos in this electrifying new historical mystery by the USA Today bestselling author of What Cannot Be Said.

August 1816. England is in the grip of what will become known as the Year Without a Summer. Facing the twin crises of a harvest-destroying volcanic winter and the economic disruption caused by the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the British monarchy finds itself haunted by the looming threat of bloody riots not seen since the earliest days of the French Revolution. Amidst the turmoil, a dead man is found hanging upside down by one leg in an abandoned chapel, his hands tied behind his back. The pose eerily echoes the image depicted on a tarot card known as Le Pendu, the Hanged Man. The victim—Lord Preston Farnsworth, the younger brother of one of the Regent’s boon companions—was a passionate crusader against what he called the forces of darkness, namely criminality, immorality, and sloth. His brutal murder shocks the Palace and panics the already troubled populace.

Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, learns of the murder from a ragged orphan who leads him to the corpse and then disappears. At first, everyone in the dead man’s orbit paints Lord Preston as a selfless saint. But Sebastian quickly realizes that the man had accumulated more than his fair share of enemies, including Major Hugh Chandler, a close friend of Sebastian’s who once saved his life. Sebastian also discovers that the pious Lord Preston may have been much more dangerous than those he sought to redeem.

As dark clouds press down on the city and the rains fall unceasingly, two more victims are found, one strangled and one shot, with ominous tarot cards placed on their bodies. The killer is sending a gruesome message and Sebastian is running out of time to decipher it before more lives are lost and a fraught post-war London explodes.

Great addition to the series

I love this series and each book is so well written I am never bored with the series!!

The historical aspects of that time.

The narration was over and above one of the best I have listened to. However for me the story of the murder was too all consuming in that so many details were put into a short timeline.

Finally the right voice!

So glad they finally got a male narrator!! That’s frustrated me for 19 books! The story as always was amazing and refreshed to not be taken out of the moment by a female voices male narrator.

Another fantastic thriller - amazing narration!

20 books into this series and this one really had me guessing! The new narrator, Tom Kitely, is a worthy successor to Davina Porter.

The more things change the more they stay the same~

I enjoyed every subject and every chapter in this latest StCyr novel.
I’ve read them all and can’t wait for the next.
