Summary
In a London hospital, Prudence Barrymore, a talented nurse who had once been one of Florence Nightingale’s angels of mercy in the Crimean War, meets sudden death by strangulation. Private inquiry agent William Monk is engaged to investigate this horrific crime—which intuition tells him was no random stroke of violence by a madman.

Greatly helped by his unconventional friend Hester Latterly, another of Miss Nightingale’s nurses, and barrister Oliver Rathbone, Monk assembles a portrait of the remarkable woman. Yet he also discerns the shadow of a tragic evil that darkens every level of society, and a frightening glimmer of his own eclipsed past.

The William Monk series continues to delight me; author Perry is at her best writing well crafted, realistic crimes for her most complex and mesmerizing cast of protagonists to solve together. The snarly sparks between Monk and clever nurse Hester continue to be fun. I’m so pleased the narrator has remained the same so far in the audio series. She is a superlative actress and has brought these wonderful mysteries vividly to life. Brava!!

One of rhe BEST books I have ever listened to. A very sensitive subject handled perfectly. I am enamored by Ms. Perry's books and Ms Porter is a most fabulous narrator.
