Disappointed

Revisado: 10-18-24

I don’t know where to begin - this book was completely different than prior books in the series. The writing was flowery & melodramatic to the point of being ridiculous & annoying. The plot line is poorly developed & pushed to the background while Fiona goes from man to man, allowing chance to determine who

Character development was inconsistent

Revisado: 04-15-24

While I liked the story, Emily’s behaviors were very inconsistent with how she was portrayed in prior books. I really disliked the narrator. It sounded like she was struggling with the accents leading to odd pronunciations of words which was very distracting. Margaret, her American friend, suddenly developed a Brooklyn accent. I really hope they use a different narrator for future books.

A great holdover while awaiting the next book!

Revisado: 02-21-24

This was a nice collection of short stories which allows the reader to fill in some of the gaps in time and find out what some of the main characters were doing while other characters were away on an adventure of their own. It provides insight into each “problem solver” as they use their skills independent of the other characters. It was an enjoyable read & I would recommend it (and have) to my fellow bibliophiles.

Disappointed

Revisado: 01-21-24

I did not like this book nearly as much as the previous ones, and was disappointed. I pressed on to finish the book, but sadly, it didn’t get any better. I found the premise of Bea spending time with Kesgrave’s former mistress unlikely & demeaning for a character that has always represented a woman ahead of her time in equality. The ending, with every one of the men being disabled, & Bea having to take down the culprit while being assaulted while pregnant distasteful. Since I have enjoyed the series in the past, I will give the author one more chance with the next book, but if it doesn’t return to the prior quality of writing, I will not continue listening to the series.

Loved this book!

Revisado: 12-09-23

Great storyline. I loved how it illustrated the plight of the poor, the mentally ill & women in this time period. It wasn’t overly predictable like many mysteries I read, I did find the mispronunciations by the narrator distracting.

Interesting Characters

Loved the further developments in Michaela & Brody’s relationship. While the storyline was good I did find it predictable which somewhat took away from the entertainment value. The narrator is excellent as always.

Disappointing Narration

Revisado: 04-02-23

The narrator was very difficult to listen to & I had to force myself to just get through the book which greatly diminished my enjoyment. As per usual with this author, I found it somewhat difficult to follow the many characters & wish there was a bit more time spent both introducing & developing some of the more peripheral characters. I was glad to see some movement in the relationship with Rosalind & Adam and look forward to seeing where their careers take both of them in future books.
