Murder

By: Sarah Pinborough

Narrated by: Steven Crossley

The sequel to Mayhem, the first gripping Dr. Bond mystery. A gruesome horror story set on the cobbled streets of Victorian London....

Dr Thomas Bond, Police Surgeon, is still recovering from when Jack the Ripper haunted the streets of London - and a more malign enemy hid in his shadow. Bond and the others who worked on the gruesome case are still stalked by its legacies, both psychological and tangible. Now the bodies of children are being pulled from the Thames, and Bond is about to become inextricably linked with an uncanny, undying enemy.

Critic reviews

'A compulsively readable story that starts as a conventional murder mystery and morphs, by degrees, into a horrifying supernatural thriller.' ( Guardian on Mayhem)

This story is very sad

I like the author’s style of writing and o love the narrator, but overall, IMO, it’s a very sad tale.
If you are ready for that, go for it it

Beware the Upir!!!

Any additional comments?

Reading the first installment of this tale of woe, "Mayhem," is a must if you want to understand what's going on. Very well-written, with fully realized characters who pay the price for the tastes of the evil entity moving through their lives. Truly a Victorian version of "Fallen," the creepy and tragic 1998 film starring Denzel Washington. Here a similarly evil force is offered as the covert perpetrator of the infamous Whitechapel/Ripper murders. Steven Crossley does a wonderful job as usual, although I wish he didn't read the one American character like John Wayne. Overall a really great read.

Thrillikng

This book was an excellent extension to the first book. The story and the narration was excellent.I look forward to reading more of her books. This is a must read.

Boring and uneventful

I couldn't finish reading this title. I won't be listening to the trilogy. Dr. Bond whined ro the very end.
