About this audiobook
Abduction. Murder. A conspiracy that could bring down the King.
London, 1667: In the wake of the Great Fire, a new city has emerged from the flames. The King has reopened the capital’s theatres, and the royal court is hell-bent on debauched entertainment. But amid the raucous festivities, an actress shows up dead, dressed in the clothes of a missing girl.
It’s a time of great change for thief taker Charlie Tuesday too: his old flame, Maria, is on the cusp of marrying someone else. But when she is abducted on the way to her wedding, Charlie realises her disappearance is linked to the murder.
Meanwhile, as Lent draws to a close, London is exploding into shocking riot. With brothels and theatres being attacked, Charlie and his sidekick Lily must find clues before an angry mob does. And as the mystery deepens and violence fills the streets, can Charlie solve a riddle that threatens not just Maria, but London itself?
This is the fourth book in the Thief Taker Series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5the BEST narration!
Steve West is so pleasant to listen to! He has gotten so good over the years and this is just fabulous. All his voices are unique and the women’s voices are very good. All the different British accents are great. The story took me a bit to get in to but once I did I loved the characters. Charlie the thief taker is so likable and it’s a fun romp around ugh some historical facts thrown in with the imaginary. Going right in to the next in the series. Should be able to hit the ground running with the next one knowing who is who and what is what. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The story and characters were okay, but the narrator savagely ruined this book for me. If I hear Charleee Chooosdaaay one more time I’m going to kill myself.. It’s Tuesday not choosday. I understand they’re trying to make an accent, but it grates on the ears.
