About this listen
In the fog-shrouded autumn of 1873 a man dies violently while searching a burial chamber on the outskirts of the city of Salisbury. At the same time Tom Ansell, a young lawyer, arrives from London to receive a manuscript from one of the Cathedral Canons.
Felix Slater wants the compromising memoirs of his late father to be locked away until after his own death. But Slater's death comes much sooner than expected, and it is Tom who discovers the clergyman's body and comes under suspicion for his murder. The manuscript has disappeared. To clear himself, Tom must go in search of the real culprit.

Fine but not a grabber.
The book pootles along fine but it’s not vastly memorable. I just didn’t find the main characters very compelling but there’s nothing actually wrong with them.

Strictly Victorian
I am sorry that i could not get into this story and found it stiff and very Victorian in flavour. The atmosphere was well evoked of fog and oddly behaved characters but it all seemed so wooden.
In conclusion it was sadly uninteresting and difficult to become involved in the characters and the story.
