Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 898
The vicious decapitation of Stanley Preston, a wealthy, socially ambitious plantation owner, at Bloody Bridge draws Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, into a macabre and increasingly perilous investigation. The discovery near the body of an aged lead coffin strap bearing the inscription King Charles, 1648 suggests a link between this killing and the beheading of the deposed seventeenth-century Stuart monarch.

Characters are getting better
Revisado: 12-29-24
While Harris is no Anne Perry..She is fun and interesting in her writing. Also enjoy the factual historical info mixed within.
And as usual Devina Porter does a marvelous reading.

Rampton Farm, Northumberland, has always been a gloomy, godforsaken place. Now it’s earmarked for demolition—to make way for just another tawdry amusement park. It will be progress, and nothing can stand in the way—except perhaps Arnold Landon, the Planning Officer who must glean the lie of the land.

Story was decent; if bit drawn out, too much here and there.
Seemed like author was searching for too much and lacked in finding the core of the main character until the end.?
Might have been better served with some introspection,and few re-writes. Promising overall.

This is DC Smith's third investigation with the Diver and Diver Associates agency. They have been asked by a member of Norfolk's aristocracy to look into the tragic death of her younger brother, Freddie, the late Lord Thorpe of the title. The inquest verdict was of misadventure, but it isn't long before Smith begins to suspect there has been a serious miscarriage of justice.

Happy to read the addition and further development of quirky characters to Smiths new working world. Hopefully this means there will be many more stories to enjoy.
And as always; great narration!

In her twentieth William Monk mystery, she brings us to London's grand Mayfair mansions, where the arrogant masters of the Western world hold sway - and to the teeming Thames waterfront, where one summer afternoon, Monk witnesses the horrifying explosion of the pleasure boat Princess Mary, which takes nearly two hundred of the merrymakers on board to their deaths. The tragedy is no accident.

How much the narrator makes the story
Revisado: 10-15-24
I am a big fan of Collaci as narrator, but on this one? Totally misses the mark. Otherwise the story is a good one!

Not my favorite in a really good series.
Revisado: 10-07-24
Story came across as a bit forced. As if it was a struggle to put together. In an otherwise really good series, this one disappointed. Even the otherwise great narrator seemed to over-do , as if she also was not into it.

Inspector William Monk is ordered to investigate in a manner that will give the least possible pain to the influential family. But Monk, brilliant and ambitious, is handicapped by lingering traces of amnesia and by the craven ineptitude of his supervisor, who would like nothing better than to see Monk fail.

And Really wish narration was done by someone other than writer.

Revisado: 09-12-24
Narration was mechanical, and had a bad echo; especially in the 1st half. Irritating.
Story? So-So.
