Brilliant

Revisado: 09-21-23

This is actually my second listen to this book. It is brilliant. It is far from a happy book, but it is also not depressing. At times I laughed out loud and a few times I wept. At times I wanted to punch something. This is not a neutral book. The main character is stoic, but focused. Her choices seemed to make her more vulnerable, but her determination to proceed drove her on. It was the perfect book.

A Gem

While I loved each book in this series, I found this conclusion quite fulfilling. The writing is spectacular and the performance captivating.

There were great things about this book, and stuff that just grated. I longed for more information about her grandmother, which was my favorite part of the book. I found the narrator a bit jarring. Her choices led her in one direction until she visits her grandmother's home town and she suddenly changes? I think it could have been a more graceful change. And a woman lawyer gives up her work to bake? again, to much change too fast. But the writing is good. The editor could have been better.

Perhaps Her/His best book yet. I use both genders because we all know she publishes under a man's name in this series. Here we have the online world displayed warts and all. Terrorists, misogyny, pedophiles kand homicidal lunatics hiding behind various online nom de plumes are exposed. In the midst of this are a variety of other cases which, though not equally addressed, are more than passing moments in the book. Well written as always and well performed, again, as always.

Mary Balogh is an immediate must buy for me and has been for over a decade. This book is one reason why. She never shies away from difficult topics and sets them in a far more realistic Regency setting than most of her contemporaries. I look forward to what she does with the rest of this family in the future.
