In a surreal turn-of-the-century London, Gabriel Syme, a poet, is recruited to a secret anti-anarchist taskforce at Scotland Yard.

Subject: I Dare Say...Good Form!
The story was a little predictable, though I was still surprised by the ending.
The reading was professional quality. Excellent.

Subject: Reader has a very nice voice. This is a very good classic.
I have listened to other free book readings and did not like the voice of the reader. This book is a very good classic and the reader does a very good job.
Thank you!
