About This Audiobook

Clara Benson's 'A Case of Conspiracy in Clerkenwell' is a delightful serving of historical mystery, served with a dash of social commentary and a dollop of wit. Set in late 19th-century London, this audiobook offers a vivid snapshot of the era's political and social landscape, with the ladies of Clerkenwell Central Hall and their communist neighbors providing a rich tapestry of characters. Benson's prose is sharp and engaging, with a plot that twists like a winding alleyway, keeping listeners guessing until the very end. Gethyn Edwards' narration is a standout feature, bringing Benson's words to life with a voice that switches seamlessly between the prim and proper and the rough and ready.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I was immediately drawn into the world of 'A Case of Conspiracy in Clerkenwell', with its evocative descriptions of Victorian London and its cast of memorable characters. Gethyn Edwards' narration is a real treat, his ability to differentiate between characters and capture their unique voices is exceptional. The pacing is spot on, building tension and suspense as the story unfolds, and the production quality is excellent, with no distracting background noise or audio glitches. My only minor critique is that at times, the political debates can feel a tad didactic, but this is a small price to pay for such a engaging and thought-provoking listen. Overall, this is a fantastic addition to the historical mystery genre, and I would highly recommend it to fans of complex, character-driven whodunits.
