Emma Lathen is called the American Agatha Christie and Nero Wolfe Without Portfolio by New York Times and Wall Street Journal reviewers. Set in the land of the old rich in Northern Connecticut juxtaposed with working people is this witty and insightful conflict between the two groups. Book number two in her John Putnam Thatcher series.

The worst reader I have encountered after listening to over two thousand audiobooks. The pauses in the middle of a word, and the myriad mispronunciations of words and common names made it very difficult to persevere to the end.

Good writer, poor narration
Revisado: 11-10-16
The content of this book is very interesting and not often covered in other Revolutionary War books. The author writes compellingly and keeps it interesting; however, his narration leaves a lot to be desired. Cadence and timing are off, making it sound like he's in a great hurry and always out of breath. Fortunately, the subject matter is interesting enough to overcome those drawbacks.

As the city prepares to celebrate Queen Victoria's golden jubilee, Veronica Speedwell is marking a milestone of her own. After burying her spinster aunt, the orphaned Veronica is free to resume her world travels in pursuit of scientific inquiry - and the occasional romantic dalliance. As familiar with hunting butterflies as she is fending off admirers, Veronica wields her butterfly net and a hatpin with equal aplomb, and with her last connection to England gone, she intends to embark upon the journey of a lifetime.

Not great literature maybe, but the characters were engaging and intelligent. The plot was complicated enough to keep me guessing. You will need a decent vocabulary too, which is refreshing.

Marginal plot
Revisado: 12-19-15
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The plot is very thin and the romance unappealing. The hero is an annoying wimp. The reader rises above it as much as possible, but unless you are into gay romantic comedy, don't waste your credit.
What could Josh Lanyon have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Spend more time on plot and less on the unconvincing romance.
What would have made this romance irresistible?
Appealing characters

A cerebral mystery
Revisado: 08-28-12
This mystery and its predecessor are great fun if you like historical fiction, unusual methods of murder/mayhem, and an intelligent hero. You'll figure out whodunit before the hero, but he's probably more naive than you are, and a scientist rather than a detective. I like the arcane vignettes into what it was like when electricity was still something of a novelty. There's just enough electrical theory to make it understandable without descending into technical jargon that bores rather than enlightens. The reader doesn't get in the way of the story. His accents are different enough you can discern the characters, but not so broad as to be difficult to understand.

A blood-red flower is his calling card, daring rescues are his mission. The Scarlet Pimpernel is a daring English aristocrat who rescues French nobles from death at the hands of Madame Guillotine, patron saint of the French Revolution's Reign of Terror. This popular romantic adventure is filled with skin-of-the-teeth escapes and spine-tingling intrigue. It is presented here in unabridged form so you won't miss a moment of swashbuckling suspense.

Great story, terrible reader
Revisado: 06-27-05
This is one of my favorite books, but I was unable to listen to more than 3 chapters because of the wooden, pedantic, monotone voice of the narrator. I hope in the future he will only be narrating economics books.
