Excellent narrator, refreshing vibe for the story
Reviewed: 10-20-20
While the story itself isn't super creative or out there, it was still a well-constructed and engaging cosy mystery that managed to throw a few plot twists that caught me off guard along the way. What I really enjoyed about it, though, is how the author managed to very nicely blend an Agatha Christie vibe for the mystery with a P.G. Wodehouse vibe for its main character, a semi-bumbling but still more intelligent version of Bertie Wooster.
I want to give a shoutout to the narrator of the audiobook, Sam Dewhurst-Phillips, who did a fantastic job at voicing all the different characters in the mystery. He breathed life into all of them, from the Bertie Wooster-ish quality of the main character, down to the pottering old butler Cooper whom you can't help feeling endeared to even though he barely has lines in the story.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 694
Silas Mason has no illusions about himself. He's not lovable or even likable. He's an overbearing idealist, a radical bookseller and pamphleteer who lives for revolution...and for Wednesday nights. Every week he meets anonymously with the same man, in whom Silas has discovered the ideal meld of intellectual companionship and absolute obedience to his sexual commands. But, unbeknownst to Silas, his closest friend is also his greatest enemy, with the power to see him hanged - or spare his life.

Excellent performance, excellent story

What a joy to read a proper romance for once, of two people having a realistic and flawed attraction to each other, making realistic and flawed decisions while set in an extremely realistic and compelling (and flawed) society and time.
Matthew Lloyd Davies also does an excellent job at narration, somehow managing tk distinguish each character's voice so that I never lost track of dialogue, while also injecting just enough drama so that the passions of each character came through without being a caricature.
