A Darkness in Seven Dials

Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries, Book 17

By: Ashley Gardner, Jennifer Ashley

Narrated by: James Gillies

March 1820

When James Denis is arrested for murder and lands himself in Newgate, it falls to me to prove his innocence. I have nowhere to start but in a dark street in Seven Dials and the name of the unknown man Denis is supposed to have killed.

I soon find myself beleaguered by enemies from Denis’s past, secret societies, and a host of people who want Denis to hang. In addition I receive word from a mysterious young woman I haven't heard from in years who now seeks my help.

Darkness in Seven Dials

This is Book 17 of the Captain Lacey murder mystery series set in regency England! This entire series is captivating as the characters are so well done that you just want to read on and on to find out what will happen next! The audiobooks are extremely well narrated by a professional narrator, which i personally appreciate a thousand times over Virtual voice (the cheap way out). A 5 star experience!! Don't miss this series!you

THIS CANNOT WRITE BOOKS FAST ENOUGH!!!

I adore this series!!! (Gush,gush) The stories are great! The narrator is PERFECT! I just can't recommend enough!

Another great Captain Lacey

Ashley Gardner keeps churning out these great mysteries. I don’t know how she does it, but I’m thrilled that she has the ability to always entertain and keep me guessing. Well worth the credit for this one. Excellent (and consistent) narration, too!

Why the voice change for Capt. Lacey?

James Gillis really does an outstanding narration. The theatrical delivery in his performance sets the scenes and characters making it easy to visualize. However, I found this particular performance missing something. The subtle change in Captain Lacey’s dialogue between other characters was a bit disappointing. I found it distracting to the story. It does eventually become more familiar again by the halfway point but it just didn’t feel like the same Lacy I’ve come to know. I hope for the next installment (if there is one) Capt. Lacy will get his voice back. He shouldn’t sound like Grenville.

A great listening. Love all the audio series.

Love all of Captain Lacey series and how all the characters develop. I hope to see another book in the works.
