About this listen

In this exhilarating series debut, police detective William Monk must solve the mystery of his own past.

His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monk’s efforts doubly difficult, since he’s forgotten his professional skills along with everything else.

“Richly textured with the sights and sounds of London and its countryside … Solidly absorbing and Perry’s best to date.”—Kirkus Reviews

Absolutely loved this. Wonderful narration, beautiful diction and fun volcab of yesteryear!! The narrative has you second guessing… plenty of red herrings that give you a false sense of security that you’ve cracked who’s done it. Entertaining and enchanting characters who you grow to love and despise, scenes you can smell and public houses you’d think twice at ordering a pie and a pint at but you’d go in anyway!!!

Historical twists and turns till the end!!
