Listeners will be drawn into KJ Charles’s atmospheric and compelling historical mystery. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss this story of friendship—and betrayal. In 1895, Oxford University student Toby is murdered—and his close friends know that one of them must have done it. Ten years later, Jem sets out to solve the mystery that ruined his life once and for all. As the story moves back and forth in time, narrator Tom Lawrence effectively differentiates Jem’s less rarified accent and those of his wealthy, upper-crust peers. Lawrence also conveys Jem’s growing desperation as the further his investigation goes, the more secrets are revealed and the more danger Jem finds himself in.
