More romance than mystery

While it’s good to get the word out about cat rescue issues, I already knew all that. And from what I know, I will say the decision to not mention ALL the reasons cats might be stolen was a good one. Some are so awful it would be cruel to tell someone whose cat has been taken about them. Then the mystery seemed like such a small part of the whole story that I started to feel bored, & then that made me feel irritated. The cat-hoarding couple part was just dropped, the reason for the cat-napping seemed feeble, there was no followup on the truckful of horses that were taken away, no confirmation that the guy the tractor fell on was actually dead, and what was the point of bringing in a PI if the amateurs aren’t going to pass on their info to him & in fact he’s never mentioned again after the meeting where he’s introduced (oh, except once to say they’re not going to tell him anything)!

Glad I didn’t live in London in 1889!

So much darkness & violence. Makes me have a different perspective on our times now. For all the problems we have now, I wouldn’t want to be living in Victorian London instead! So much that I take for granted that wasn’t yet known—like just having a flashlight to see where you’re going! A LOT happens in this book! Much to keep track of, but not TOO much—just enough to keep it interesting. I thought the story was well-paced to make me want to keep listening. Excellent reader; kind of reminded me of the current reader of Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series—quiet, calm, gentle—but not sleepy. Interesting insight from other books I’ve read: I think Henry was autistic. Others have suggested there were some historic inaccuracies; my response is “Ok, so don’t take this as a history text, but as the fictional mystery it is.”

Too much relationship stuff

I just wanted the suspense & investigation of what happened to her, not so much discussion of relationships. And the bit about Olive’s sexual orientation just seemed like a weird, irrelevant attempt to connect to current events. It’s fine if this is what you like to read about, it just wasn’t what I was wanting or expecting. If you want to spoil it for yourself, the epilog tells you what really happened to Billie.

It’s always interesting to me to learn how different autistic people experience the world. The brain is a fascinating thing. Now when I read historical stuff about people who were considered “off”, “weird”, “nonfunctional”, I think “they were probably autistic”.

Last Words Audiolibro Por Shari J. Ryan arte de portada

Historical fiction & romance. The chapters go back & forth between the present & WWII. I don’t think presenting the historical part as a diary entirely worked, because it felt more like you were witnessing it as it happened (especially dialog), & was rather detailed for supposedly having been written 2 yrs afterwards; but just ignore that & go with it. You won’t find this title as a separate book if you search on Goodreads; “Last Words” is presented as a trilogy, all 3 published the same date in 2022; reading the descriptions of those 3 has left me confused as to how they compare/relate to this one.

…& I enjoyed it more the 2nd time. By then I’d gotten used to the annoying characters & found them funnier.
