Excellently written, wonderfully read

Revisado: 04-25-24

I was delighted to see that GxK had a novelization. I love reading them after I see a movie because they fill in so much background and so many details that have to be edited from the film. This one was a delight, and will add an extra layer of enjoyment every time I rewatch the movie.

Well crafted mystery

Revisado: 02-08-24

Good use of the historical setting. Engaging characters, except Willie, who needs to be dropped down a well. I'm looking forward to the next book and learning more about these people and their magic. The narrator did a fine job giving each character a distinct voice.

I enjoyed this tremendously!

I've enjoyed this entire series very much. The writing is first class and the heroines Gwen and Iris are intelligent, interesting, engaging wonen. Post war London is brilliantly brought to life in details large and small.

Charlene Harris never disappoints

Revisado: 02-04-23

I love this series and I very much enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure at first about the switch from Gunnie Rose to Felicia but It was fun seeing Felicia develop from an obnoxious little girl to a strong and intelligent young woman. The other characters are varied and interesting and their world continues to fascinate me.

Eva Kaminsky did another remarkable job! Everything about her voice and her ability to make so many characters distinct and identifiable added to my enjoyment. I hope there are more books in the Gunnie Rose universe.

Pleasepleaseplease let there be a sequel. With the same voices. Except for the dead ones, of course.

Author and narrator are perfectly matched

Revisado: 04-20-22

I've already expressed my admiration for Ben Aaronovitch in reviews for previous books in this series, so let's talk about the narrator, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. His voice is so smooth and rich that it's a pure pleasure just to hear the sound of it. I'm in awe of his ability to give each character a distinct sound. Peter's dry wit and Nightingale's upper class sang froid are both absolutely perfect and I'm constantly amazed that they're voiced by the same man. And as always, now that I've finished this latest entry I'll immediately go back to the beginning and spend the next several days replaying the previous books.

I can never pass up one of her books

Revisado: 03-05-22

If I see a Charlaine Harris book that I don't already have, I grab it without hesitation. Honestly, I don't even need to check the back cover. If she wrote it, I know it'll be a great read. Also, Eva Kaminsky is the perfect voice for Gunny Rose.

A Charlaine Harris book is never less than great

Revisado: 03-03-22

And this is no exception. Harris writes characters that have such depth and personality that they're people I wish I knew in real life.

I love everything about this series!

Revisado: 10-24-21

The characters are well drawn and compelling. The snappy dialogue is delightful. The storytelling is superb and the mystery in each book is twisty and satisfying. The vivid depiction of London and its people just after World War II is deeply pleasing to this history nerd.
