Interesting period piece with great narration

Revisado: 02-22-25

The narration is fabulous, as are the characters. I love the Useful Women aspect of this series, as well as the strong female characters who are empowered and independent in an era where that was hard to achieve. The mystery had an obvious solution that I can't believe that Mabel overlooked when assessing what evidence she had and had not collected. I think she's smarter than that--and needs less damsel in distress moments--so I hope that shifts a bit in the next installment in the series.

Good but not as good as Meg and Jo

Revisado: 07-20-23

I truly enjoyed both of these books, but Meg and Jo spoke to me more both because of the issues the sisters faced, their relationship, and the retelling of the original story. So much of this book went off script, in part of course because Beth is alive. Some readers/listeners may appreciate that, but I didn't find her character very true to the original. I would not recommend listening to it right after Meg and Jo because the voices the narrators use for Jo and Bauer are dreadful, especially in Amy's sections, and it was just painful after the great narration of that book. Otherwise the narration, especially for the mom, was good.

The worst of this series

Revisado: 02-03-23

I have really enjoyed this series – – until this book. Too much discussion of sexual violence against 12 and 14 year olds and a not as likable heroine in the past story. The present story is not as compelling as in the other books, either, in part because of too many lectures and excess sermonizing about indie publishing. Really hoping that the next in the series is back to form or that will be the end of the series for me.

Good story until it became over the top (3.5)

Revisado: 01-05-23

Started out strong with interesting historical information, but the story became ludicrous near the end. Great narrator.

2.5 stars

Revisado: 11-06-22

This started out great, but it increasingly became preposterous in the second half and the ending was terrible.

Underdeveloped

Revisado: 08-14-22

I generally love this series, but this book feels like it’s half a book. So many plot threads that nothing was ever done with, and many storylines just feel undeveloped and unresolved. A disappointing story.
