Summary

The New York Times best-selling author continues his colonial-era thriller series with eight tales of mystery, adventure, and supernatural suspense.

Not what I was expecting but…

I’ve enjoyed every Matthew Corbett audio book since stumbling over ‘Speaks The Nightbird’. I recently listened to ‘The King of Shadows’ and was expecting this to be the next in the series. I was wrong!

It’s a collection of short stories but each one is extremely well written and superbly narrated by Edoardo Ballerini who, for me, has the perfect voice for the series. I thoroughly recommend those books.

Good short stories, not the continuation I was hoping for.

Nice to re-acquaint with with world of Matthew Corbett, a little disappointing that it wasn't a continuation of the main storyline.

Disappointed

Disappointed to find this wasn’t the next chapter in the series but a series of short ‘filler stories’. Struggled to get into it though it does get better towards the end.
