Ever the journalist, Charles dedicates himself to discovering who's behind the diabolical defenestration. But before he can investigate further, Harley's corpse is stolen. Following that, Charles is visited in his quarters by what appears to be Harley's ghost—or is it merely Charles's overwrought imagination? He continues to suspect Emmanuel, the same penurious penny pincher who denied his father a loan years ago, but Kate insists the old man is too weak to heave a body out a window. Their mutual affection and admiration can accommodate a difference of opinion, but matters are complicated by the unexpected arrival of an infant orphan. Charles must find the child a home while solving a murder, to ensure that the next one in chains is the guilty party . . .

In December 1835, Jacob Harley falls to his death from an upper-story window with chains around his neck. He lands right in front of journalist Charles Dickens and his fianc�e, Kate Hogarth. Charles decides to investigate the case while he is dealing with the claim that he is the father of a 4-month-old illegitimate boy, a situation that has the potential to destroy both his love life and his career. Narrator Tim Campbell portrays the audiobook's diverse characters, including some from different areas of the United States, using effective accents and voices that are easily understandable. He especially shines in his voicing of the elderly, sick Mr. Screws. With his good expression, Campbell enhances this audiobook. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
