Über diesen Titel
December, 1889.
There have been many bad days in Edinburgh police's secret subdivision 'The Commission for the Elucidation of Unsolved Cases Presumably Related to the Odd and Ghostly'.
But today is surely the worst.
Because the exiled English Inspector Ian Frey, and his Scottish boss 'Nine-Nails' McGray are summoned to a meeting in the middle of the night with the Prime Minister himself.
And he tells them that Queen Victoria - the most powerful person in the world - wants them both dead.
To be pardoned they must embark on a mission so dangerous that they might be saving Her Majesty the job of executing them. Because this case ties together the dark history of the Pendle witches, with the tragic case of McGray own sister, to a conspiracy within the highest office in the land...

Maybe this is different with a book where you can go back and forth between pages to be able to capture every detail.
Another aspect that came to annoy me in some parts, was the repetitive writing style. "Cackling", "gasping", "growling" etc. are now black listed words for the choice of my next book to listen to.
Andy Secombe is a star performer - I love and admire his interpretations of these so different characters. Bravo, again!
Sadly confusing and repetitive
