About this listen

Will Darling is all right. His business is doing well, and so is his illicit relationship with Kim Secretan - disgraced aristocrat, ex-spy, amateur book-dealer. It's starting to feel like he's got his life under control.

And then a brutal murder in a gentleman's club plunges them back into the shadow world of crime, deception, and the power of privilege. Worse, it brings them up against Kim's noble, hostile family, and his upper-class life where Will can never belong.

With old and new enemies against them, and secrets on every side, Will and Kim have to fight for each other harder than ever - or be torn apart for good.

Contains mature themes.

Good.

I'm so pleased that Will and Kim found each other and stuck like glue. it's so sad that in those day's you couldn't be free in love. also loved the surprise relationship of Phoebe and Maisie.

I loved this trilogy

Cornel Collins magically transforms these books into what feels like a Gill cast dramatisation. The combination of KJ Charles and this narrator is pure joy. I was bereft when I reached the end

Totally enjoyable

Thoroughly enjoyed this whole series, would really recommend! Perfect balance of investigation and mm romance, downtown abbey crossed with James Bond.

I am utterly obsessed with the Will Darling Adventures.

I love all three books in this series and Collins’ reading of them so much. I’ve easily listened to each three times now. Collins reads well, despite how laughably terrible his regional accents are. A good & fitting ending to a brilliant, thoroughly enjoyable trilogy.

Excellent ending to a great trilogy

I really enjoyed this - again some twists that I didn’t predict, and Will finally talks about his feelings…

Fun book, excellently read

The story is fun and I am hoping for more volumes in the Will and Kim saga, but Cornell Collins deserves a shout out as one of the very very very best performers I have ever heard. He makes the story, the characters and especially the dialogues come to a very believable and entertaining life.

Nice

I liked the characters and the plot but would have liked more about the relationship.
The recording, as in the other books, often had a low rumble in the background.

Nothing Subtle here

Well narrated. Another trip round the block, meeting some of the usual characters, good, bad or indifferent. Usual content, done in the usual way.

The research errors are grating: Post Codes did not come into use in England until the 1970s, and for sure a lowly employee would not have a personal private telephone at his room let alone home until at least 1978 (prior to that even posh houses shared a party line). Call tracing was not possible until the 1960s. Calls from a public telephone box were still connected by a live operator until early 1970s.

OK
