It is 1873. Mrs. Eliza Touchet is the Scottish housekeeper—and cousin by marriage—of a once-famous novelist, now in decline, William Ainsworth, with whom she has lived for thirty years. Mrs. Touchet is a woman of many interests: literature, justice, abolitionism, class, her cousin, his wives, this life and the next. But she is also sceptical. She suspects her cousin of having no talent; his successful friend, Mr. Charles Dickens, of being a bully and a moralist; and England of being a land of facades, in which nothing is quite what it seems.

Awesome narration and intriguing story
Revisado: 01-09-24
No Spoilers... The author narrating is often the best and is the case here. She knows the intent of her words and was able to intone and flex to cover all the characters and story to life. I listened across my devices as I moved through my house doing chores as enjoyed it so much. I know others said the narrator is hard to understand. If you've not ever talked to someone with an accent , perhaps, but she was clear, articulate , and no issues following what was said. I did find looking at the chapter names in audible helpful, as wasn't always picking up the time frame shift when listening as the story crosses various years, not in sequential order. Written like a true Victorian era book and full of historical true references, greatly enjoyed and I know why it was now on the one of the top books of 2023. Strongly encourage you to check it out.

Fabulous Page turner

Well written story, alternating between the two lead characters, decades apart. Fast paced and the narrator does. wonderful job with both the French language references and slight altered voice for the male characters in a believable way. Highly recommend!

A serial killer stalks women in rural Ohio. He is deranged but brilliant, known only by the grotesque nickname the media has given him - The Doll Parts Killer. The name is apt. He dismembers his victims and leaves them in garbage bags in public places. A residential neighborhood. Next to a roller rink. Behind a Burger King. The investigation is a disaster. No physical evidence. Unreliable witnesses. To make matters worse, the FBI has lost contact with the star profiler working the case.
