George W. M. Reynolds
The Mysteries of London was a best-selling novel in mid-Victorian England, published in four volumes. This is the fourth and final volume. Initially serialized in weekly installments, they were the forerunners of today's soap operas. Known as "Penny Dreadfuls", they had no claim to literary brilliance but offered readers entertainment and excitement in the form of vice, poverty, wealth, virtue, mystery, romance and scandal in every combination and reached a mass audience. - Summary by Lynne Thompson (21 hr 55 min)

Sections 1 thru 5 Need to be Re-Recorded

I hate to be unkind, but the first five sections are so terribly read (cadence, inflection, etc.) that I cannot listen to them. I appreciate the reader's passion to help and to make this available to others. I hope others can enjoy them and that this issue is mine alone.
good reader, bad stories

The reader does a good job, but the stories are interminable - the author’s wordy rambling style made me lose track of the plot and I kept skipping thru the endless, senseless descriptions to get to the end. If it weren’t for the, I’d have given this book one star.
Proof Listening Error

The chapter titled The Captain's Ludacris Adventure is missing but the narrative duplicates events told in a chapter from volume 3.
