Leaps around too much

Revisado: 01-25-25

Detective is almost irrelevant to story. Characters solve the mystery. Ending not even interesting. Narrator did a great job though.

Bleh….

Revisado: 01-16-25

Predictable story line, boring dialogue, horrible narrator. I adore the Amelia Peabody books, this is mot even close. Actually painful to listen.

Cute but a bit too much romance and not enough mystery

Revisado: 02-20-23

Narrator was excellent, story held my interest. Characters were fairly well developed, but too much romance for my taste.

Really slow

Revisado: 01-06-23

Normally I adore these books, but this one was really slow to develop. Felt like the author had a minimum words requirement in her contract. Once it got going, it was a good story and filled in some background for us. Just not the author’s best work.

Young Adult - how young?

Revisado: 12-31-22

I would limit this book to someone who is 17 or older. Even at 71, I was shocked by the event that triggered the antagonist’s actions. It still haunts me, but maybe I have too vivid an imagination. Other than that, well done.

Very disappointed

Revisado: 03-30-21

I adore Beatrice, Fiona is a spoiled TOO CHATTY substitute. This would have worked as a short story but was too drawn out with ridiculous repeats of the story of Bea’s lost love and how Fiona feels at any moment.

Also I didn’t like the narrator’s voicing of Fiona, too high pitched. I actually slowed it down to be able to listen comfortably.

Hoping that Bea returns.

ADORE this Series

Revisado: 06-01-20

This reminds me of the poor relations series. Full of well drawn, eccentric characters. Lots of chuckles and smiles.

Poetic and thoughtful!

Revisado: 01-22-20

I really enjoyed the insights and language of this book and the quality of the production. The fussy part of me expected a more Polish accent for Marie Curie but otherwise it is well worth the listen.

Love the characters and the basic story but....

Revisado: 02-08-18

Too much romance and I really don’t care what color any clothes are. Still a good yarn.

Too much Queenie in Queen of Hearts

Revisado: 01-08-15

What made the experience of listening to Queen of Hearts the most enjoyable?

I enjoy the frivolity and dialogue of this series. They are generally witty and entertaining. I also enjoy the narration by Katherine Kellgren with the NOTABLE exception of Queenie! I know she is supposed to be colorful, bold and of the "lower class." But in this book, she is just too whiny, loud, crass and....stupid. I didn't see where any of her actions served to either move the story along or add any real humor. Ms. Kellgren's vocalization of Queenie was frankly painful to listen to and Queenie had way too many lines in this book.Another reviewer noted how Georgie's continued soft heart when it comes to Queenie has become a major weakness. I totally agree. None of us - the characters in the story, nor her reader's understand why Georgie keeps her around.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Katherine Kellgren?

I would not replace Ms. Kellgren, I just hope that the author chooses to get rid of Queenie, soon.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I like this series, but this is not the book that I would choose to film.

Any additional comments?

It is a fun read, just not my favorite.
