Scotland, June 1925. Socialite Cressida Fawcett has been invited to cast her interior design eye over the Stirling family’s new seat, Ayrton Castle, up in the Scottish Highlands. Thrilled to be spending the summer at the historic estate, Cressida fills her suitcase with this season’s hunting jackets–and some tartan for her little pug Ruby, of course!

Too slow
Revisado: 03-22-24
The story just sounded like a repeat of others. The narrator on this one was too slow and monotone. I turned up the speed, but it didn’t help. What little character personalities were attempted in the first two books were completely gone in this one. I really tried to finish it, but didn’t.

Eileen is newly single and about to turn 80. She'd like a second chance at love, but her tiny Yorkshire village doesn't offer many eligible gentlemen. So they decide to try a two-month swap. But stepping into one another's shoes proves more difficult than either of them expected. Will swapping lives help Eileen and Leena find themselves...and maybe even find true love?

Predictable end, but an enjoyable journey.
Revisado: 08-04-22
This story’s ending was rather predictable, but the characters and their interactions are worth the trip. It’s a nice book to keep you company when you’re driving or just hanging out. The narrators were believable enough.

This was a fun return to the Lady Hardcastle universe. I’m glad the author came back to writing about them. TE Kinsey’s writing and Elizabeth Knoweldon’s narration are an outstanding combination.

Award-winning actor, creator of a myriad of memorable characters from Lady Whiteadder to Professor Sprout, Miriam Margolyes is a national treasure. Now, at last, at the age of 80, she has finally decided to tell her extraordinary life story. And it's far richer and stranger than any part she's played.

A book about Miriam’s life and career couldn’t be anything except entertaining. A book about Miriam, written by Miriam, and narrated by Miriam was interesting, heartwarming, funny, thoughtful, AND entertaining. I enjoyed every minute of it.

For five grand a month and a million-dollar chaser, Roger Mulligan didn't care how crazy the old geezer was. All he had to do was keep Joseph Perry Shackleford alive and keep him from squandering the estate for a year. But they didn't tell him about the pixies.

Revisado: 08-28-21
The narrator did a good job. The book should have been labeled as a “part 1” or something because it definitely wasn’t a complete story. The end of the book just left me wondering if they accidentally left off the last couple of chapters.

Not what I had expected
Revisado: 10-24-19
Based on some reviews I read, I thought this might be an enjoyable escape. It was not what I had been hoping for. The story and the narration, both, fell flat for me.

Lois Clary is a software engineer at General Dexterity, a San Francisco robotics company with world-changing ambitions. She codes all day and collapses at night, her human contact limited to the two brothers who run the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall from which she orders dinner every evening. Then, disaster! Visa issues. The brothers quickly close up shop. But they have one last delivery for Lois: their culture, the sourdough starter used to bake their bread. She must keep it alive, they tell her—feed it daily, play it music, and learn to bake with it.

Revisado: 08-30-17
I'm not fond of leaving negative comments, especially since I adore this series, but when Grace dictates her diary entries, she should not sound like she's in her 20s/30s. Also, the Cannonball Island people should not sound Scottish. The narrator changed the whole feel of the book.
