The Sans Pareil Mystery Audiobook (Free)

On a cold February evening in Regency London, a dark curtain falls within the Sans Pareil Theatre following a death of April Clare, a promising young actress, whose body is situated in mysterious circumstances.

Detective Stephen Lavender and his dependable deputy, Constable Woods, quickly find that there is nothing quite as it seems. As successive mysteries unfold, they soon realise that it is not merely the actors in the Sans Pareil who are playing a part.

With the Napoleonic Wars looming dangerously across the Channel, that is a time of suspicion and treachery. Following clues from the seedy back roads of Covent Garden up through the echelons of society, Lavender and Woods start to fear that this case is a lot bigger than they’d dared imagine–and even worse, that they are at risk of becoming mere players within a master criminal’s shadowy episode.

It will require most of Lavender’s skill and wit, and help from the beautiful Magdalena, to bring the mystery from the Sans Pareil Theatre to a dramatic bottom line in the ultimate act.
