Seven years ago a woman with too many secrets and a man with too many lies fell in love. Then she left him. Isabel's quiet life as an assistant to one of London's famous apothecaries hides a deadly secret. A secret that could see her put on trial for witchcraft if the authorities uncover the truth. But when the authority figure who turns up at her shop is Sir Nicholas Merritt, she's at risk of losing more than her life. She could lose her heart and soul, and the man she loves.

Not her best writing…
Revisado: 07-16-24
I usually just love CJ Archer’s books. So this one was a little disappointing. It just felt rushed. The overall story was ok, but there was just so much focus on the romance and sex that the story was just kind of lost and underdeveloped. Archer’s other series build the anticipation of romance through multiple books and when the characters finally do get together it’s sweeter and much less base. These characters were going at it up against a wall in the second chapter. It’s whatever. Just not her best work.

Good story but the narration...
Revisado: 04-24-19
I enjoyed the overall story but listening the performance of the narrator performing the Winter Queen made me want to scream! Whoever allowed that person be recorded and published should have to listen her over and over for all eternity. The other narrators were great which what made that one stand out even more. Sheesh! Audible, please don’t publish anymore books with that narrator!

I really want to like this book...
Revisado: 10-16-16
I've listened to first couple of books in this series and really enjoyed them, so I really want to enjoy this one but....
This narrator absolutely makes me cringe. She has a very nasal sounding voice that makes me want to offer her Kleenex to blow her nose. And her British accent is atrocious. It waffles back and forth between British and a New Yorker accent, as though she's getting them confused. There is a character from New York but even that accent is over the top and not becoming of the character at all.
I'm really trying to make it through this book because I like this series but listening is really starting to grate on my nerves. Hopefully I'll be able to update later that it was worth it....

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.

I really wanted to like this book… But it just rambled on and on and on. I know a lot of other listeners seemed to really enjoy this book, so maybe it's just me. I just could not ever get into the story The narrator was fabulous as always.

When a maid in the upper class Ellison household is strangled, Inspector Pitt is called in to investigate. He finds a world ruled by strict manners and social customs, where the inhabitants of the Ellison's neighborhood appear to be more outraged by the thought of scandal than they are by murder. Inspector Pitt finds a most unlikely ally in Charlotte, the Ellison's spirited daughter. But as the murders continue, Charlotte and Pitt find themselves drawn together by more than the investigation.

This was a good listen but...
I enoyed the storyline very much and thought it was good reminder of God's love and forgiveness. I find my own attitude often mirrors that of the main character Sophie.
My only complaint was that this book seems to have been pieced together incorrectly. Though it sounds seamless, there is an obvious flaw in this recording. The book is in chronological order and dates are interjected to help the reader/listener know the time line. However, in this recording, the book jumps from approx February to mid-summer and then back to March. Thankfully, if one has listened up to that point you can kind of piece it together in your head. I just think you shouldn't have to when you're paying for a product. There is another version of this book available (longer) which is actually what I meant to click on when I purchased this book. Maybe that version doesn't have the same error.
Oh well, still a good story. :-)

This was a wonderful reading of The Silver Chair. The dramatization was excellent--you feel like you're in the story. It was perfect for listening to on our family vacation.
