About This Audiobook

Detective Inspector Mark Tartaglia confronts a chilling pattern when young women begin turning up dead in London churches, their bodies discovered after fatal falls from great heights. What initially appears to be a series of tragic suicides takes on a more sinister dimension as evidence mounts that these vulnerable victims may have been lured to their deaths by a calculating predator. With the media dubbing the unknown perpetrator "The Bridegroom" and public pressure mounting, Tartaglia must navigate departmental politics and conflicting theories while racing to prevent the next death in this twisted game of cat and mouse.

Dan Stevens delivers a masterful performance that elevates Forbes' atmospheric debut, bringing distinct vocal characterizations to the ensemble cast while maintaining the story's mounting tension. His nuanced portrayal captures both Tartaglia's professional determination and personal vulnerabilities, while seamlessly shifting between the perspectives of colleagues, suspects, and victims. Stevens' measured pacing allows the psychological complexity of the investigation to unfold naturally, making excellent use of the audio format to create an immersive experience. The production quality enhances the story's dark London setting, with Stevens' compelling narration transforming each clue and revelation into gripping listening.
