Narrated by Imogen Church
The Highgate Cemetery is a Historical mystery thriller set in the Victorian Era of London. You get a nice punch of the storyline within 5 mins of the narrative with the murder victim. From then on in, it's a nice build up of investigation from a nurse, Gemma Tate and Detective, Sebastian Bell. The POV of the story is from them which works really well.
Its hard to believe that within the Victorian times, that women were not recognised as intellectual beings and Im glad to say that the dynamics between Miss Tate And Mr Bell becomes very respectful as Bell recognises that he is dealing with a very intelligent, observant person. And to quote Bell when he was questioned regarding women's status within the community. " women can be anything they want to be " Irina has a lovely writing style, covering the times, building suspense and leaving you wanting to find out who was the perp. The pay off was wonderful.
This audiobook was narrated by Imogen Church and I really love her voice and the way she places expression in the right places. I do however find that I have had to speed this book up to 1.5.
A good 4 star book and looking forward to reading more from Irina.
