Historia
Washington, DC, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship. Grace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own.

Historia
A woman falls to her death from a London bank’s twenty-fifth-floor roof terrace. You're arrested for her murder. You tell the police that you had only met the victim the previous night at your office party. She was threatening to jump down from the roof, but you had talked her down. You've got nothing to do with this tragedy. You're clearly being framed.

Actually rewound and listened again to few chapters when I had a, "Wait, what??!" moment. In the very best sense.
Looking forward to more from both the author and narrator.

I agree with the last reviewer. I’m sad it’s over. I can’t recommend this series enough.
The narration is also stellar.

Historia
Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: Survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why - or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch - and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes.

Historia
I died. And I came here. To a place they call Two. They say one out of three people who die come here. Berlin is here. She’s seven. She forgot to take her insulin. Darrel is here. He drowned. Dr. Raleigh is here. He’s the head counselor at the Two Adjustment Facility (TAF) I’m at. He died in an avalanche. Perry Whitcomb is here. I connected with him on Deadbook, Two’s version of Facebook. He was on my soccer team in middle school. He collapsed during one of our games. And get this, Heath Ledger is here. (Yeah, the Joker, himself.) He just had a new movie come out.

Just saying. Because many reviews were from those who could identify with the protagonists.
To everyone else: this was the best book I’ve listened to in a long time.
More than 5 stars across the board.

This review is not about the book, which I absolutely give five stars, but about the wonderful narration
I'm so happy I did not notice this was read by the author, or I might not have given it a shot.
Narrators can make or break an audio book. Which is why I seldom purchase a book narrated by the author. Leave it to the professionals! Right?
Holy cow, Sean of the South! I wish I were better with words, so I could truly describe how beautifully this book was read.
100 stars for performance.

Historia
Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors - and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead - with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man.

Not sure which part of the description sparked my interest, but I gave it a shot.
Weber is an excellent narrator. Coven weaves a great story. ( I may have ignored my family a bit while listening on AirPods)
