Murder at the Orpheus Theatre

A Tate and Bell Mystery, Book 4

By: Irina Shapiro

Narrated by: Imogen Church

A totally enthralling historical mystery

She looks hardly more than a child, sleeping, her lashes long and thick as they rest against her rounded cheeks. But in the flickering gaslight, she is unnaturally still…

For Inspector Sebastian Bell and nurse Gemma Tate, a night at the theater becomes a deadly spectacle when the two lead actors are found dead on the stage, murdered before a stunned audience. Drawn into a shadowy backstage world, they encounter a cast of suspects, each with desperate secrets to hide…

Sebastian is determined to get justice, and to keep Gemma safe from the dangerous killer circling the cobbled streets of Covent Garden. But she is already too deeply involved, and, in a world where everyone wears a mask, could she have trusted the wrong person…?

Be drawn into a heart-pounding Victorian mystery. With its richly drawn characters and simmering romance, this thrilling tale of murder and redemption is perfect for fans of Andrea Penrose, the Lady Sherlock mysteries and Miss Scarlett and the Duke.

Gemma’s role.

Very good book, keeps your interest. Hope there will be more in this series. Will Sebastian move to America?

My favorite so far!

Excellent! I love how all relationships are progressing, even if at a snail’s pace. I was also very surprised at the killer’s identity.
Great narration as well.

Worth the Wait

This is a marvelous read. The mystery is complex and kept me guessing, and the character development is tantalizingly slow but rewarding. This series gets better with each book, and I cannot wait for the next one.

Murder at the Orpheus

Another absolutely amazing Tate and Bell murder mystery set in regency England. With many twists and turns to keep you guessing, you will eagerly read or listen to this masterfully sculpted story until the very end.

OMG the narrator

This voice actress is absolutely amazing! incredible narration. the minute differences between each character's voice is astounding and I can clearly tell each character apart while listening.

I suggest listening to it at 2x speed but absolutely AMAZING

The story is just as wonderful as the previous ones in this series, but the narration truly shines here
