The Worcester Whisperers

Inspector Ravenscroft Detective Mysteries, Book 2

De: Kerry Tombs

Narrado por: Andrew Cullum

Jack the Ripper is terrifying London. Outside the capital, another killer will shock the country. It’s up to Police Inspector Samuel Ravenscroft to stop him. Perfect for fans of M.R.C. Kasasian, E.S. Thomson, Oscar De Muriel and Karen Charlton.

Worcester, 1888. Nicholas Evelyn, the elderly cathedral librarian, has disappeared. A priceless medieval manuscript has been stolen. Its glass case smashed with a candlestick. Ravenscroft is sent from the grimy streets of Whitechapel to investigate. Aided by his trusty companion Constable Tom Crabb, Ravenscroft soon discovers that behind the cathedral’s facade lurks a dark world of death and deceit. Could the murder relate to an unsolved mystery dating back nearly 40 years?

Meanwhile, in London, a mysterious woman in black is wreaking revenge in the dark alleyways of Whitechapel. In a spectacular climax, the two worlds of Worcester and Whitechapel meet.

Good mystery with many twists!

Great narration, good story. Enjoyable characters. Very much looking forward to the next in the series.

Cozy mystery

I have been loving Ravenscroft mysteries! And the performance of the reader is great. The mysteries are not heavy, and the flow of the story is good.

Intelligent and likable main character

Unlike some mysteries in which the protagonist ignores clues or delays needed action, this inspector follows up unreasonable clues, and does take action. This is refreshing.

Although there is menace in the background and certainly murders - this is a murder mystery after all - the main characters show gentleness and consideration for one another. This is also refreshing.

The author includes an evil mastermind. This is a trope of which I am not particularly fond, but it hasn’t put me off the series yet.

In addition to the Moriarity figure another aspect that requires significant suspension of disbelief is how utterly incompetent and what a sot Ravenscroft is in London, compared to how competent he is in his adopted village. Perhaps The Smoke affects his brain as well as his lungs.

Good

Got a little more into this one. A good mystery and recognized one of the murderers from the first book.

Story and narrative great

A great must

Story narration and everything between are excellent with this series! Totally worth the listen. Don’t sleep on these

The storyline

The story is great...The narrator makes you pay attention.Wonderful mystery keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end.

Wonderful wonderful

Kerry Tombs is a master in weaving great plots with authentic characters. I love Inspector Ravenscroft and Constable Crabtree and his Jenny. A great mystery with three interwoven plots. The books are simply compelling.

The ease of listening. At times the cadence or rhythm of the reader is tedious.

I disliked nothing, I enjoyed the reading throughly. I would recommend it to my anyone who wants to be entertained without bad language.

Wonderful

I have enjoyed this series so much. As soon as I finished listening to the first book in the series I started this one. I love them. The characters are brilliant and the stories are enthralling. I can’t wait to find out more in the next book! The narrator is fantastic and does an excellent job at bringing the story to life.
