Publisher's Summary
Opening with a father and daughter scavenging for corpses on the Thames, the chilling tale unfolds around drownings, disguises and doubles, violence, murder, and triumphant love. Young John Harmon, presumed killed on his return home to England, is very much alive. The heir to a dust merchant's fortune, he goes to work under an assumed name for his father's current heirs, the amiable, elderly Boffins, who are about to be blackmailed by the unscrupulous one-legged Wegg.
So begins the intrigue in a novel that is quintessentially Dickensian in flavor, in its grotesque caricatures, its rich symbolism, and the astonishing realism of its heroine, Bella Wilfer, among Dickens' most splendid female characters.

Dickens ability to weave multiple stories
I’ve enjoyed reading Dickens and this book is no exception to his works. It is wonderfully descriptive, moving and his weaving stories together is a delight.

Great reading, great novel
I have listened to several Dickens novels on Audible, and this performance does the best job of differentiating character voices without sounding exaggerated. Unfortunately the recording is marred by repeated passages that were not edited out. I still recommend it as a fine reading of Dickens last book and one of his best.
