London Crime Thriller Boxset

Desecration, Delirium, Deviance

By: J.F. Penn

Narrated by: Rosalind Ashford

Evil stalks the city of London at night. Can Detective Jamie Brooke and reluctant psychic Blake Daniel stop the murders before it's too late?

This audiobook contains three full-length crime thrillers with an edge of the supernatural from J.F. Penn.

Desecration. When the body of a young heiress is found within the Royal College of Surgeons, Detective Sergeant Jamie Brooke is assigned to the case. An antique ivory figurine found beside the body is the only lead and she enlists Blake Daniel, a reluctant psychic, to help her discover the message it holds.

Delirium. When a prominent psychiatrist is found murdered in the old hospital of Bedlam, Detective Sergeant Jamie Brooke finds herself investigating the history of madness to fathom the motive. Blake Daniel, a reluctant psychic, helps her to research the case, only to discover that his own family are entwined with the shadowy forces that seek to control the minds of the mad.

Deviance. When the body of a priest is found in the ruins of Winchester Palace, his tattooed arms flayed, his mouth stuffed with feathers, the artists and outcasts of Southwark huddle in fear. Private investigator Jamie Brooke begins the hunt for the murderer aided by Blake Daniel, a psychic researcher, who is haunted by visions of the past. As violence erupts, leaving a trail of bodies in its wake, Jamie and Blake must find the skin collector before those they love are taken down.

London crime thriller box set review.

Nice set of captivating books. Keeps listener engaged. Gets predicable sometimes. But worth a listen nevertheless. Rosalind's style definitely captures the listener's imagination.

London Crime thriller 3 book set

Deviance,Delirium and Desecration all revolve around Jamie,a detective with a bad news boss.She ends up in the bowels of an underground lair where she thinks she spots him.As it burns around her she is not sure.Next book he is 'trying to work with her' when he just wants her under his thumb.She calls his bluff and ends up off the job.Book 3 has her finding her tribe and when he tries to raze it for his plan for London supremacy,she fights back with her new friends.I hope there will be more.Despite the gag factor,I loved this set. Rosalind Ashford was a terrific narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

I Loved This Trilogy

I can be a pretty hard sell when it comes to crime stories, as I find a lot of them to be either too mundane or too soft-coated for my taste, but this trilogy is neither. The author calls on some of history's more horrifying aspects of man's inhumanity to man and resurrects them in contemporary tales—she links her present-day stories to the seedier bits of Europe's past very nicely.
The main characters are likable, the female characters are strong, and even the person who touches on the supernatural is still believable (because it's not over-done).

Female narrator with a British accent, very easy to listen to.
I absolutely recommend this trilogy.

(Note: I've read several comments which cite the ending of the third book as feeling rushed and abrupt. I concur, but it doesn't bother me because it's believable. Sometimes, a case DOES end without a drawn-out chase scene or a dozen tense confrontations. Didn't detract from my enjoyment at all.)

Edge of your seat thrillers

I thought these stories were well written and the author must have done a lot of research to make it so authentic. The narrator did a great job. These were very suspenseful with a touch of supernatural, especially the third book in the series. I received these audios complimentary by the author and I am giving a review voluntarily.
