disappointing! Nothing happens.

Revisado: 11-15-22

the only reason I listened through the end was Rosalyn Landor's superb narration. As for the book... what happened to Julia Quinn? was this actually penned by some cheap ghostwriter?

Entertaining

Revisado: 08-25-22

Entertaining plot and characters, but an average mystery. I also enjoyed the setting in Cyprus, it made me consider a vacation there!
Penelope Keith is a great narrator. However, I would like to ask not only her but ALL NARRATORS to keep in mind that many listeners wear earphones, so please, PLEASE, DO NOT YELL or SCREAM when the book says that a character did that!

superb narration, silly plot

Revisado: 11-13-21

I had enjoyed the previous books of this series, but was disappointed at this one. Absurd plot, long and pointless descriptions of nightmares. I won't buy the next one.

nothing happens

Revisado: 07-26-21

I listened through the end primarily because of Ms. Landor's flawless narration. The story was extremely disappointing. hardly any plot! chapters after chapter of repetitive dialog. I used to enjoy Mary balogh's books, but lately it seems that she just fills up pages with fluffy dialogs. This is my last book from this author.

Interesting plot and very good narrator

Very interesting parallel stories gradually merging together. Good descriptions of Venice is different decades. Enjoyable book and very well narrated.

Disappointing... There isn't really a plot.

Revisado: 06-13-21

Other Julia Quinn books have been entertaining, but this one seems to have been delegated to the cheapest writer-for-hire. I would start this next sentence with a "spoiler alert" warning, but there is no plot to spoil. 90% of the book consists of the two main characters dialogues, which in turn consist only of one throwing barbs against the other. As in all romances, they end up marrying each other. Nothing else really happens, and what could have been a clever espionage plot is never developed. The only reason I listened through the end was Rosalyn Landor's perfect narration. She somehow turned Quinn's endless and repetitive dialogues into entertainment. If had been reading this book, I would have shelved it unfinished as soon as it became clear that there was no actual plot.

Interesting plot and awesome narrator

Revisado: 05-04-21

I am a Philippa Gregory fan and always enjoy her books, even though sometimes the characters act or think in ways that seem somewhat unrealistic for someone of that particular century. Adjoa Andoh is an extremely talented narrator. I hope she gets to narrate lots of books! Absolutely perfect.

hardly a plot

silly and poorly developed plot. listen only if you enjoy graphic sex. I don't. narration made it possible to listen until the end.

warning: mystery book without ending

Revisado: 08-24-20

this "book" ends abruptly without solving the plot. the author left me feeling cheated. pity! I was enjoying the characters, the plot and the narration. but I'll never buy another Lauren's book before verifying it contains the entire story!

can't stand this narrator

Revisado: 07-22-20

normally I give most books a chance. but I found this narrators nasal voice intolerable. and her attempts at British accent sound like some comedian poking fun at a British accent.
