Fantastic Read

Revisado: 10-04-24

I am so glad that I kept listening to this audiobook. I almost gave up on it a couple of times near the beginning, but I'm happy I didn't.

The protagonist, in the beginning, seems like a highly dislikable woman. it is hard to feel sympathy for her. however, I did grow to care about her in time thanks to the slow but steady change in her character from dislikable to kind. The narrative itself is extremely engaging and well researched. There are enough developments, twists, and turns to keep you reading all night.

Overall, I felt the narration was done very well. however, I have to admit that, especially early on in the book, I found the voice used for Enid to be extremely irritating. however, that also fits her character in the beginning. Although it is not quite perfect, I highly recommend this audiobook.

Humorous and Excellent Reading

Revisado: 09-05-24

peachy wood houses James books are always a lot of fun, but this audiobook is truly excellent. the performance is nothing short of superb and perfectly captures the characters. if you enjoy highbrow British humor, I cannot recommend this enough.

My Only Complaint: I Need More!

Revisado: 05-01-23

This novel encompasses the intriguing mystery, intricate plot development, interesting characters, engaging humor, and Old World charm that I have come to expect from PJ Fitzsimmons novels. it is another great cozy Detective mystery and my only complaint about it is that it is the last book, at least at this time, in the series. (Please, sir, may we have some more?)

Anty is as funny and insightful as ever, the cast of characters is just quirky enough to be fun without becoming absurd, and the twist and turns in the mystery will keep you guessing. All of it is delivered in a performance nothing short of excellent. The narrator brings you into the tale and keeps you engaged. if you enjoy good historic cozy detective stories, you need this audiobook in your library.

Fun and Enjoyable, but Could Be Improved Upon

Revisado: 01-27-22

3.5/5 This is what I like to refer to as ice cream in book form. It is light reading, fun and enjoyable, and I certainly liked listening to it. However, I feel that a use of historical and mythological information could have improved the storyline a bit.

Things such as noblemen serving themselves at dinner, obvious place names, light world building, and lack of details about things such as weapons and fighting styles made these a 3.5 rather five star book. I liked it, but I could not help feeling that it only partially lived up to its potential.

Nonetheless, there are far too few reverse Harem Romance novels involving pay males, in my humble opinion, so I would still recommend this novel if you enjoy such things. It is certainly a lot of fun and makes for great Light reading. if you are looking at for a little little Gary ice cream probably enjoy this series.

Slow at First, but Highly Enjoyable

Revisado: 12-22-21

Although not my favorite Drizzt novel, perhaps, this book was very good. I admit that it was a little difficult for me to get into in the beginning, but before long Salvatore drew me in with his usual magic and I became eager to see what would become of the beloved characters. With some unexpected twists and turns, this novel delivered a satisfying conclusion that, happily, seems to hint at more adventures to come.

Heartwarming and Sweet If a Little Predictable

Revisado: 12-21-21

Fans of Victorian and Edwardian literature as well as charming Christmas tales will certainly enjoy this story. It's a wonder it is not more popular as it shares dinne of the same Yuletide aspects of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol.

A Rare Christmas Treat for Fans of Sherlock Holmes

Revisado: 12-20-21

I've read quite a few works of Sherlockian fiction, but many of them fall short of the original stories. This is not one of those. Lovegrove does an excellent job capturing the spirit, characters, and tone of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective mysteries. If you love tales of Sherlock Holmes and his intrepid chronicler Watson, but have read all of Conan Doyle's works multiple times, I recommend this intriguing Christmas mystery.

Perfect True Fireside Tales!

Revisado: 11-15-21

The short accounts of true hauntings in this collection were exactly what I was looking for: one part history and one part ghost story with a dash of folklore mixed in! The presentation is marvelous with none of the banal small talk or fumbling performances that ruins so many ghosy story podcasts. This is the perfect treat for a night by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate or cider, a few candles, a warm blanket, and a companion to share it all with!
