Good amount of interesting info in a condensed time.

Revisado: 04-19-24

Traveling thru Florida we wanted a high level history of the area, not 20 hours deep but not Wikipedia short either. This was a great middle ground. Lots of interesting places and people and stories.

Main character annoying and chauvinistic, mystery doesn’t make sense.

Revisado: 03-23-24

It’s like the author wanted to set up a Tommy and Tuppence couple sleuth book but then made Drew a jerk. He urges her to stay asking her to help him solve the mystery then sneaks off with his friend to look for clues. Says we’re not going to tell her what we find and lies to her to go off again the next day. So how exactly is she supposed to help him solve the case? He has no respect for her intelligence and she’s completely superfluous to the story. She’s giving up her vacation with her friends and what she came all the way from America to do, just to be treated horribly.

And what’s up with him calling her darling and my dear and caressing her cheek in front of other people and they’ve known each other two days! This is 1930s England, she’s barely given him permission to call her by her first name.

The mystery and who did it is a surprise only because there’s basically no one left and the why doesn’t make sense either.

Fantastic new 1920s detective!

Revisado: 03-23-24

I was sad to see this author’s Poppy Denby books weren’t continuing but absolutely loved this new detective and supporting characters and interesting mystery. Love Clara’s science background and learning about evidence collection techniques for this period. I had to immediately buy the second book in the series after finishing this one! If you’re a fan of well plotted 1920s mysteries, endearing characters, and sprinkles of 1920s fashion, cocktails, cars and architecture you’ll love these. The narrator does an incredible job with so many accents and characters to keep separate.

Waste of $5

Revisado: 10-15-23

In the first 3 minutes this book has jumped around from Athenians to WW1, throwing in Byzantine and Persian references. All jumbled together so you have no clue what he’s trying to explain. Would like to return this nonsense of a ‘book’ but Audible doesn’t take back books you buy? Only if you use a credit? Hopefully I can save someone else their money by writing a review. Don’t understand the five stars but since no one wrote anything probably fake.

Boring list of dates and battles with monotone narration

Revisado: 10-04-23

Narrator reads small sections of poetry in same monotone as the rest of the book, no nuance nor interest. The whole book is just a list of dates and names essentially. No mention of the Acadian culture before migrating to Louisiana and very little once they got there.

Georgie and Belinda in Paris! What a delight.

Revisado: 03-25-23

Love seeing the home life with Darcy and puppies and Queenie and then all the travel details and sights, sounds, and tastes of Paris. Good mystery, love the time with Belinda and descriptions of Chanel’s fashion. The narrator does an excellent job with several Americans, Darcy’s dreamy Irish and so many colorful unique characters. I still recognize Georgie, Mummy and Belinda from the previous narrator, which has to be incredibly difficult. Hoping for more exciting adventures in their next chapter of life!

Excellent mystery & great new characters!

Revisado: 01-05-23

Very entertaining addition to Poppy’s story. Loved the new characters Dr. Gertrude and PC Rosie Winters. Hope we see more of them in future books. Fantastic ending with unexpected but logical villain unmasked and women saving the day. Love how Daniel and Poppy’s lives are moving forward.

Excellent addition to the series!

Revisado: 10-04-22

Love the character development in this one especially the mother-in-law. Excellent mystery, surprises and twists. The narrator does an amazing job with so many different accents and children sounding appropriate for their age but not annoying.

Excellent series!

Revisado: 05-17-21

Love these characters, it is rare to truly laugh out loud at a book but Lennox is so British and so adorably funny. The narrator is excellent at the humor and perfectly paced. Mystery was excellent, interesting and not full of cliches. I hope we get to see Percy and Florence in future books!
