Timothy Kinnit needs Albert Campion's help. He is rich, handsome and successful but his past is a mystery to him and he needs Campion to find out how it connects him to the notorious Turk Street Mile slum.

In addition, his own illustrious adopted family has a sinister secret of his own - involving a murderous 19th-century governess - that must also be brought to life by Campion's investigations. An Albert Campion mystery.

Great narration as always by David Thorpe and a great plot. A pity Audible hasn’t recorded the whole series.

Very good

This isn't one of the better books by this author but it still captured me well enough. The main problem was, IMO, the poor linking of the various episodes within the overall arc. At times it seemed to lose its focus for me.

Decent but feels a bit muddled at times
