Summary

After rising to prominence for his role investigating the case of Jack the Ripper, former Detective Inspector Daniel Wilson is now retired. Known for his intelligence, his investigative skills, and most of all his discretion, he's often consulted when a case must be solved quickly and quietly. So when a body is found in the Egyptian collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, Wilson is called in.

As he tries to uncover the identity of the dead man and the circumstances surrounding his demise, Wilson must contend with an unhelpful police inspector and Abigail Fenton, the archaeologist who discovered the body and is determined to protect the Egyptian collection. Can they find a way to work together to solve the mystery?

Good old fashioned murder mystery.

Really loved this. Good murder mystery. Story kept me interest especially the Egyptology references. Narrator was excellent and made the whole thing thoroughly enjoyable. Would highly recommend if you want to sit back and relax.

Murder at .....

I enjoyed getting to know the two main characters. The plot was engaging enough to keep me listening. I look forward to the next story in this series.

Generally harmless, but disappointing

An interesting enough plot and some nice period atmosphere but extremely pedestrian. I got fed up with the "he said... she said" narrative style, and frankly the "Victorian women" depiction was pretty poor... I was waiting for them all to "swoon at the sight of an ankle!" I don't think I'll follow this series.

The new Holmes/Jack Frost/Tom Barnaby

I enjoyed this book immensely just the thing for light relief during lockdown. A welcome departure from the graphic detective novels of today. Entertainment personified! as a retired PC I want to enjoy my listening not a return to the real world. I don't want to appear to be critical of others it's just my way of dealing with the past.

Triyng New Authors

I love anything connected to Egypt, so thought I'd try this author. I'm so glad I did, Its an easy listen to book, which captured me right from page one. I enjoyed the story and the narration, I sometimes get confused by characters, but not with this story. It had the right amount of mystery to keep me listening, whilst gardening and housework, I look forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Enjoyably predictable

I enjoyed this book, it is predictable but still fun.

I like the characters and will be listening to the others in the series to see how they develop.

I did find the voices used by Peter Wickham felt rather false in places, but otherwise good fun.

Mesmerizingly dreadful.

Narration by Peter Wickham makes it almost bearable - there really isn't much of a plot, just a series of loosely connected events and characters. I find myself wondering if it was a vanity published title?
