Historia
Society believes the worst of Justin Alastair, the notorious Duke of Avon. When he encounters a young boy, Léon, who is running from his abusive brother, Avon employs the boy as his page, parading him around parties and other society events in full view of his bitter rival, the Comte de Saint-Vire. But the truth is soon uncovered: Léon is a girl named Léonie and is actually the legitimate child of the Comte and his wife. While Avon is intent on his plan to reveal the Comte’s duplicity and ruin him, he is charmed by Léonie’s kindness, falls in love, and becomes a changed man.

This is one of my favorite Georgette Heyer books. I've read it dozens of times over my life, and I thought that the narration here was very well done. She has a little trouble with the men's voices (they're not quite deep enough... most of them sound like lyric tenors, lol) but the characterizations were wonderful. Highly recommend!!

Historia
March 1817: As winter turns to spring, Jane Austen’s health is in slow decline, and threatens to cease progress on her latest manuscript. But when her nephew Edward brings chilling news of a death at his former school, Winchester College, not even her debilitating ailment can keep Jane from seeking out the truth. Arthur Prendergast, a senior pupil at the prestigious all-boys’ boarding school, has been found dead in a culvert near the schoolgrounds—and in the pocket of his drenched waistcoat is an incriminating note penned by the young William Heathcote, the son of Jane’s dear friend Elizabeth.

A wonderful end to the series
Revisado: 11-17-23
This series has been (and will continue to be) one of my favorites since I discovered it years ago. I've waited impatiently for each one, and have never been disappointed when they arrived. I'm sad that we've come to the last of Jane's adventures. With The Final Mystery, Stephanie Barron has given us a fitting end to Jane's story, but I know I'll be rereading this series for years to come.

It took me a while to get going on this because I was so disappointed that it wasn't Devina Porter narrating, but once I got going, it was actually really good and I thought the narrator did an excellent job. The story was phenomenal as usual, and I'm looking forward to the next one!

Historia
March, 1815. The Bourbon King Louis XVIII has been restored to the throne of France, Napoleon is in exile on the isle of Elba, and Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, and his wife, Hero, have traveled to Paris in hopes of tracing his long-lost mother, Sophie, the errant Countess of Hendon. But his search ends in tragedy when he comes upon the dying Countess in the wasteland at the tip of the Île de la Cité. Stabbed—apparently with a stiletto—and thrown from the bastions of the island's ancient stone bridge, Sophie dies without naming her murderer.

Disappointed
Revisado: 05-12-23
This is one of my favorite series, so to find that 16 books in, they've changed the narrator to somebody else was so disappointing. This narrator does not have the range of voices that Davina Porter has. and her Sebastian sounds like an old man. The story wasn't one of the best, but could have been made better by a more skilled narrator. Bring Davina back!

Historia
Frances Wynn, the American-born Countess of Harleigh, enjoys more freedom as a widow than she did as a wife. After an obligatory year spent mourning her philandering husband, Reggie, she puts aside her drab black gowns, leaving the countryside and her money-grubbing in-laws behind. With her young daughter in tow, Frances rents a home in Belgravia and prepares to welcome her sister, Lily, arriving from New York - for her first London season.

Good story, but.....
Revisado: 04-25-23
The story was enjoyable, however the narrator almost ruined it. In addition to having almost no emotion, the upward lilt at the end of every word makes it sound like she's not sure about what she's saying because it's all questions. She also pauses in weird places, and all her male characters sound the same (and much too feminine!) Anyway, it just didn't work. I'm debating whether to continue with the series or not.

I liked the story and would be looking forward to the next one, except the narrator is terrible. I can't put myself through that again.

Not quite as strong a story as some of the others in the series, but still really good, and I was able to forget that it wasn't finished by Ariana herself.

Not only is this one of my favorite Heyer novels, but the narrator was superb! The language has a sort of rhythm to it, and she nailed it perfectly, in addition to having good comic timing. The various voices for the characters were distinct & appropriate. Some have said the main characters voice was too mature, but I thought it was just right. I'll be keeping this to listen to again!

Historia
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

I'd never read this before, and even having seen innumerable movies, wasn't sure what to expect. The story is gripping( if a little drawn out in places), and Dan Steven's narration is superb! Highly recommended.

A fun series!
Revisado: 10-22-19
I'm loving this series, and so far, I only have one complaint. To end ep# 23 with a cliffhanger, and not reveal what happens in ep #24(or 25, 26, & 27), is downright cruel.
That said, this is a fun series, and Neil Dudgeon's narration is first rate.
