The story was less than gripping and left a lot unanswered in my estimation. I would have liked things tied up a bit better for the length of it. It did give me many hours of listening as I worked my way yhrough a few different projects and that is defunately worth 4 stars because I kept coming back.

Long enough to complete a project

After listening to such a long story, which I appreciated, the ending was abrupt and inconclusive.

Disappointing ending

This book was not quite what I expected. At times the crudeness turned me away but the story kept me coming back. I don’t feel the need for much of the course language in this book would’ve given five stars without most of it.

The storyline was rather intriguing though and the method of speaking to the reader was interesting.

A bit of an abrupt ending but overall a good story. I would recommend the book

read beautifully by Jill Tanner.
This is a very interesting but not for the person who has a problem with explicit sexual scenes .
London in 1876 is a sad world of class ridden excess. This is well written and pulls no punches.
I was initially a bit shocked but the story pulls you in. I felt the ending was too abrupt though.
