Dance with Death

I devoured Dance with Death in a single sitting, and I'm still reeling from the experience. Antony Ferguson's narration is a key part of what makes this book so compelling – his ability to bring even the most minor characters to life is a true gift. One of the things that sets this series apart is the way it seamlessly blends historical detail with modern sensibilities, creating a unique and captivating narrative voice. At times, I felt that the pacing was a bit uneven, with some scenes feeling a touch rushed compared to others. But overall, that's a minor quibble in what is otherwise an exceptional audiobook. If you're a fan of series like Ripper Street or Peaky Blinders, you'll likely find a lot to love in this one. One of the things that I appreciated most about this book was the way it explored the complexities of the Victorian era's social hierarchy. The way Cyrus and Thomas navigate the treacherous waters of high society, all while keeping their own secrets and biases in check, is both fascinating and infuriating. Ferguson brings a perfect balance of gravitas and humor to the roles, making it a joy to spend time with these characters. Overall, I'd highly recommend Dance with Death to fans of historical mysteries, and I'm already looking forward to the next installment in the series.
