Inhaltsangabe

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of A Fever of the Blood by Oscar De Muriel, read by Andy Secombe.

New Year's Day, 1889. In Edinburgh's lunatic asylum, a patient escapes as a nurse lies dying. Leading the manhunt are legendary local detective 'Nine-Nails' McGray and Londoner-in-exile Inspector Ian Frey. Before the murder, the suspect was heard in whispered conversation with a fellow patient - a girl who had been mute for years. What made her suddenly break her silence? And why won't she talk again? Could the rumours about black magic be more than superstition?

McGray and Frey track a devious psychopath far beyond their jurisdiction, through the worst blizzard in living memory, into the shadow of Pendle Hill - home of the Lancashire witches - where unimaginable danger awaits....

A Fever of the Blood includes an exclusive interview with the author which is available only to audiobook listeners.

Kritikerstimmen

Praise for The Strings of Murder: "This is wonderful. A brilliant, moving, clever, lyrical book - I loved it. Oscar de Muriel is going to be a name to watch." (Manda Scott)
"One of the best debuts so far this year - a brilliant mix of horror, history, and humour. Genuinely riveting with plenty of twists, this will keep you turning the pages. It's clever, occasionally frightening and superbly written - The Strings of Murder is everything you need in a mystery thriller." ( Crime Review)

One of the main characters completely ruined it

While I thought that the first book was nice enough, this one really made me regret buying it. While the detective from London is not a saint, his partner from Scotland is the most unlikeable protagonist, I have ever encountered in a novel. A superstitious egomaniac, a corrupt policeman and a violent bully. The story itself was nice enough again, but that one character completely ruined it for me. I wanted to listen to the end to see if there was going to be anything that would redeem him to me, but there was not. In fact it took me forever to finish the book as I had to keep making breaks to calm down because his behaviour and how he actually got away with it made me so unreasonably angry. I was silently hoping that the author was going to pull a shocking plot stunt like in game of thrones, to get rid of him, but it did not happen. Never before have the actions of a book's protagonist (!) made me so uncomfortable and angry. Definitely not continuing with the series!
