Farriers' Lane

Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Mysteries, Book 13

De: Anne Perry

Narrado por: Jenny Sterlin

When the distinguished Mr. Justice Stafford dies of opium poisoning, his shocking demise resurrects one of the most sensational cases ever to inflame England: the murder five years before of Kingsley Blaine, whose body was found crucified in Farriers Lane. Amid the public hysteria for revenge, the police had arrested a Jewish actor who was soon condemned to hang.

Police Inspector Thomas Pitt, investigating Stafford's death, is drawn into the Farriers Lane murder as well, for it appears that Stafford may have been about to reopen the case. Pitt receives curiously little help from his colleagues on the force, but his wife, Charlotte, gleans from her social engagements startling insights into both cases. And slowly both Thomas and Charlotte begin to reach for the same sinister and deeply dangerous truth.

Another Winner

Ready for the next one - Hyde Park Headman!! As usual Perry's creative plot is enhanced by historical context and intriguing characters!

Layer upon layer of plot and character building.

Very good read. I was hooked to the very end. The narration was excellent. Time well spent.

Love Anne Perry

love Anne Perry but this narrator puts me to sleep. She speaks very slowly and the different characters are not very distinct.

Adjust Speed to 1.15X

The mystery was well written and intriguing enough to hold my attention as I got use to the new narrator. I found adjusting the speed to 1.15X made for a better cadence.

different narrator

narration was difficult to listen to until I increased speed. great story as usual

Farrier’s Lane

Wow another great mystery that had me stumped A few red herrings and very interesting characters

Am really happy for Pitts boss who will find his happy ever after but interested to see how Pitt handles the new job if he takes it

I miss Davinia as the narrator but the new one is fine. I just speed up the narration a little to 1.1

About the narrator

Folk have made great comments on the story already, so I just wanted to address the narrator for folk like me, who loved Davina Porter’s work and were rather shocked by the beginning of this book. The comments about her being slow are fair. So painfully so for me, that I had to stop. But I noticed that she narrated a lot of these books, so moved onto another one to see if she improved. She did! I loved her, thought she did a brilliant job, is now a favourite, so I came back to this story. The beginning *is* slow and some parts later, but she did get better and for most of it, it wasn’t enough to be distracted. She is a talented voice performer and does get up to speed.

I Miss Davina Porter

Story continues to be suspenseful and a good read; however the character differentiation was so much better when narrated by Ms. Porter. I had to re-listen to the first chapter a number of times just to figure out the character who was “speaking”.

Please quit bothering me.

Thank you I said don’t do this again where I can’t get out of the app. I wasn’t finished with this book and I had to write a review?

I have read every Anne Perry book at least 3 times each and have listened to each audiobook as well. Obviously, I have enjoyed y

Oops! I have listened to each audiobook several times as well. Somehow this one escaped me. Unfortunately, I wish it remained that way. The narrator, Jenny Sterling sounded like she was drunk and underwater while reading out loud. I have to admit that I am partial to Davina Porter’s wonderful versions, so that make make me judge this narrator more harshly than neededz I will listen to the entire book in the hope that I prove myself wrong!!
