About this listen
Evil stalks the city of London at night. Can Detective Jamie Brooke and reluctant psychic Blake Daniel stop the murders before it's too late?
This audiobook contains three full-length crime thrillers with an edge of the supernatural from J.F. Penn.
Desecration. When the body of a young heiress is found within the Royal College of Surgeons, Detective Sergeant Jamie Brooke is assigned to the case. An antique ivory figurine found beside the body is the only lead and she enlists Blake Daniel, a reluctant psychic, to help her discover the message it holds.
Delirium. When a prominent psychiatrist is found murdered in the old hospital of Bedlam, Detective Sergeant Jamie Brooke finds herself investigating the history of madness to fathom the motive. Blake Daniel, a reluctant psychic, helps her to research the case, only to discover that his own family are entwined with the shadowy forces that seek to control the minds of the mad.
Deviance. When the body of a priest is found in the ruins of Winchester Palace, his tattooed arms flayed, his mouth stuffed with feathers, the artists and outcasts of Southwark huddle in fear. Private investigator Jamie Brooke begins the hunt for the murderer aided by Blake Daniel, a psychic researcher, who is haunted by visions of the past. As violence erupts, leaving a trail of bodies in its wake, Jamie and Blake must find the skin collector before those they love are taken down.
©2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 Joanna Penn (P)2016 Joanna PennI learnt a lot about different places & history - although I've visited the caves at West Wycombe & heard of The Hellfire club, there was a lot in these books that I didn't know. The author informs you without lecturing you, without dumping a lot of information for information's sake. Her love of research is apparent in all her books, & I love knowing that not only am I going to read a well plotted, pacy story, I'm going to learn about things that I didn't realise I was interested in.
The narration is very good - the crisp, almost accent-less English delivery adds an extra something when the occasional really, really dark prose appears.
While the books cover some 'difficult' subjects (such as the death of a child), these are handled carefully & thoughtfully. These books leave you with a lot to think about long after you've finished listening to them - as all great books should.

Other reviewers have mentioned that the narration wasn’t ideal, but I disagree. I got used to the narrator’s style quickly and found myself instantly immersed in the story.
