About this listen

1812. In Bath and London, Jane Austen's characters are attending balls, and the Bridgerton family are making waves in Regency high society. But these are the grimy streets of Liverpool: a city where the extreme wealth of international commerce meets brothels and brawls, smugglers and secrecy; where both high and low society operate amidst revolutionary rumblings from France and the shadow of the recently abolished slave trade.

When the city’s most powerful shipping dynasty is ripped apart by the sudden death of its patriarch, a fierce battle for power ensues between the remaining members of the Hanley family. Backstabbing, betrayal, long-buried secrets—the Hanleys will use every underhand trick in the book to compete for control of the business and their inheritance. But, as they make and break alliances with each other, the city's wolves are circling. There are plenty of people ready and waiting to seize power, and to enact their vengeance on the family of John Hanley, whose past crimes can't stay hidden for much longer....

Succession meets Downton Abbey by way of Peaky Blinders in this gripping family saga.

Starring: Alex Good, Aston Kelly, Bethany Muir, Cherrelle Skeete, Jack Mcmullen, John Thomson, Katy Cavanagh-Jupe, Oliver Alvin-Wilson, Riona O’Connor, Rosie Day, Sabrina Wu, Shaun Dooley, Stacy Abalogun, Sunetra Sarker, Susan Brown and Syrus Lowe.

Poor ending

Disappointed by the ending, up until then it was a good story. Then it just stopped.

OK

Good to have different actors for different characters but found there was too much music - chapters prolonged because of music and the same introduction to each chapter. Some of the story left untold as well - what happened to the organisation Wilfred belonged to, why did Henry suddenly seems to become so cold and aggressive? As I said in the headline, OK listen.

Good

Good story just a real shame, it has a really weak ending, couple chapters more would have solved that maybe..

Has Potential

Started well but didn't live up to expectations. Could have flowed better. Plot twist, not sure really hit the mark. Enjoyed the diversity but felt a little false. Could have been better. Average at best but wanted to hear the end which felt rushed.

Gripping - couldn’t stop listening!

After a bit of time working out the characters, this totally gripped me. Some great twists and surprises that kept me guessing. Hope there’s more from the team behind this one on the way.

I enjoyed the Liverpool setting and the whole host of characters and I’ve raced through it.

GoT meets Rebecca meets Pride and Prej meets Fingersmith!

Side note: I wish Audible posted a full cast list with who played which character (which applies for other audio dramas I’ve listened to) as I’d like to see that.

underwhelming

A little confused at times which character speaking. the narrator needs more variety in her delivery. Story didn't grip me that much.

Enjoyed Story

I enjoyed this book. Loved the dramatisation of it. was nice to listen to a book with more than just one voice for a change. would make a good film.
