Publisher's Summary
The Covent Garden Ladies tells the story of Samuel Derrick, Jack Harris, and Charlotte Hayes, whose complicated and colorful lives were brought together by the publication of Harris' List, an infamous guidebook of prostitutes which detailed addresses, physical characteristics, and "specialties". The true history of the book is a tragicomedy motivated by poverty, passionate love, aspiration, and shame. Its telling plunges the listener down the dark alleys of 18th-century London's underworld, a realm populated by tavern owners, pimps, punters, card sharps, and of course, a colorful range of prostitutes and brothel-keepers.

Terrible narrator
Interesting book but the narration was so unnatural and AI-like that I almost gave up after only half a chapter. The author would have made a much better job (her podcast "Bad Women was EXCELLENT). I enjoyed the content but the way this audiobook was recorded was recorded was distracting... in a very unpleasant way.
