Where Serpents Sleep

By: C. S. Harris

Narrated by: Davina Porter

Fourth in the "moody and atmospheric" historical mystery series starring "a troubled but compelling antihero" (Booklist).

London, 1812. The brutal slaughter of eight young prostitutes in a house of refuge near Covent Garden leaves only one survivor - and one witness: Hero Jarvis, reform-minded daughter of the prince regent's cousin, Lord Jarvis. When the Machiavellian power broker quashes any official inquiry that might reveal his daughter's unorthodox presence, Hero launches an investigation of her own and turns to Sebastian St. Cyr, viscount Devlin, for help.

Working in an uneasy alliance, Hero and Sebastian follow a trail of clues leading from the seedy brothels and docksides of London's East End to the Mayfair mansions of a noble family with dark secrets to hide. Risking both their lives and their reputations, the two must race against time to stop a killer whose ominous plot threatens to shake the nation to its very core.

Exciting

A terrible plot, murder, suspense and a new development pull this story into greatness!

Love this series and Sebastian

Wonderful

Another wonderful book from CSH with Sebastian and now Hero Jarvis seeking justice in Regency-Era England.

Lots of plot twists, good perfotmanxe

Good story, moves nicely, constant intrigue and murder, interesting characters and interesting autopsies too. Lord Devlin 's adventures and investigations won't disappoint!

Great series - this is book 2

Sebastian St. Cyr is a great character - and Davina Porter is a wonderful narrator. I started listening to her with the Outlander Series, and chose this series because of her initially. Each story in C.S. Harris series is a good mystery with plenty of action, but Sebastian's story line is the thread that keeps me reading. #Mystery #Clever #Europe #Murder #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Worth the Read!

Loved it. Waiting for the next book. It is Amanda Quick meets Mary Higgins Clark. I love the characters.
