Summary

When an Italian assassin's body is found floating in a barrel in Victorian London's East End, enquiry agent Cyrus Barker and his assistant Thomas Llewelyn are called in to investigate. Soon corpses begin to appear all over London, each accompanied by a Mafia Black Hand note. As Barker and Llewelyn dig deeper, they become entangled in the vendettas of rival Italian syndicates - and it is no longer clear who is a friend or foe.

An interesting read

Another story of Thomas Llewelyn and Cyrus Barker ! Some of the accents were a little unusual !! But I have enjoyed it ! And I’d recommend it.

Haphazard judging on my part…….

…….as I did not get past the first few chapters - the Italian accent is so excruciatingly annoying I just had to give up listening for the preservation of my sanity. Pity as the books in this series are quite good. The narrator may be quite good too, but NOT AT ITALIAN ACCENTS!

Too predictable.

"The Black Hand" is fun and relaxing but also very predictable. I don't think I will continue reading the series.
