Ishmael Jones is someone who can’t afford to be noticed, someone who lives under the radar, who drives on the dark side of the road. He’s employed to search out secrets, investigate mysteries, and shine a light in dark places. Sometimes, he kills people.

Invited by his employer, the enigmatic Colonel, to join him and his family for Christmas, Ishmael arrives at the grand but isolated Belcourt Manor in the midst of a blizzard to find that the Colonel has mysteriously disappeared. As he questions his fellow guests, Ishmael concludes that at least one of them – not least Ishmael himself - is harboring a dangerous secret, and that beneath the veneer of festive cheer lurk passion, jealousy, resentment, and betrayal.

As a storm sets in, sealing off the Manor from the rest of the world, Ishmael must unmask a ruthless murderer before they strike again.

Performed by Scott McCormick, Laura C Harris, Ken Jackson, Colleen Delany, Richard Rohan, Maboud Ebrahimzadeh, Kimberly Gilbert, Eva Wilhelm, Matthew Keenan, Nanette Savard, Chris Davenport, Dylan Lynch, David Harris.

Full cast

Loved this story had me on the edge of my seat. Cast did a fantastic job. I will be listening to more in the future 🎉🎉

Absolutely spectacular!

This graphic audio production features a tight and sparkling script, excellent characters , and fantastic narration by an ensemble cast. May have spoiled normal audio books for me! Highly recommend.

Great audio, bad book

First two thirds are great, the last bit isn't internally consistent. Great audio cast as always.

storyline

loved the cast. nothing to complain about. full drama was very engaging. would listen to more.

GREAT LISTEN

GREAT GREAT GREAT LISTEN,I've been looking for a full cast mystery and I just found it.and this was a terrific listen.actors were really good and knew what they were doing.seriously if your looking for a full cast mystery try it out and you will not be dissapointed,I promise.

Exciting

I enjoyed this immensely! I have never heard of Simon R. Green let alone Ishmael Jones mysteries. I was looking for something different from what I normally listen to and happened upon this little treasure. It was as if I was watching a book instead of listening to a movie. It grab my attention right away and I binged listened to each book in the series. Graphic Audio absolutely delivered on their motto: "A movie in your mind" because the characters come to life in your mind...literally! It's nothing like listening to a book that you already know the plot/story from previous editions, It's brand new and I actually prefer the dramatizations over a "one-person" narrative story (my sleep aid). Now, I find myself downloading everything Graphic Audio produces. Scott McCormick and Laura C. Harris are just fantastic and I just found another series of books that they are portraying in and I am even more excited to hear their comradery again.

BEST THING I'VE LISTENED TO THIS YEAR!!!

The story was awesome, the cast did amazing and the overall vibe was phenomenonal!!! 🌟🌟🌟

Drawn-out, boring plot

The story could have been cut down to a third. It would probably flow better if it had. The voice actors were great though.
