About this listen

When, one dark night in November, Prince Ludovico Ruspanti fell 150 feet to his death in the chapel at St. Peter's, Rome, there were a number of questions to be answered. Inspector Aurelio Zen finds that getting the answers isn't easy, as witness after witness is mysteriously silenced - by violent death. To crack the secret of the Vatican, Zen must penetrate the most secret place of all: the Cabal.

Excellent story let down by the worst narration I have ever heard. Persevered nonetheless because I greatly admire the author.

Dreadful narration

Interesting plot but quite convoluted to listen to, I think I'd have enjoyed it more to read.

Nice change to have story based in Rome

Appalling narration don't listen to another by him completely ruined a very good story. I want my money back.

Very annoying

Still enjoyed the book, but not as much as first two. Would Zen really go to the lengths of Blackmail? I always thought he was a honest cop? Very confusing at times and story didn't flow as well.

Still loving Michael Kitchen though!

Not as good as Vendetta or Ratking

I love the sarcasm, irony and general jadedness of Zen's character; Kitchen reads him well.

Fascinating story, well narrated

I was looking forward to listening to this book as I love to read the Aurelio Zen books. Unfortunately, however the narration was very oddly done. The emphasis seemed to be in all the wrong places as if the narrator was reading something he had never seen before and was failing to make sense of what he was reading. This is very odd as Michael Kitchen is a very good actor. I doubt I will finish the book for this reason, I have tried to listen to it several times but rarely get very far.

Spoiled by odd emphasis.

The combination of Michael Dibden's writing and Michael Kitchen's delivery is wonderful. In this tale the characters develop, the tone of the writing matures and the quality of whimsical observation reaches new heights. This is what I wanted and I loved it.

Absorbing and engaging

good story and there is no clear villain till the end but does end slightly abruptly, made me get the next book in the series to see what happens

Good story that keeps you guessing

Michael Kitchen is a fantastic narrator, the sardonic style suits the material like a glove.

Michael Kitchen is fantastic

Not one of Mr Dibden’s best.

Too complicated
