When I first started to listen to the audible version of this book, I was glad the narrator, Phyllida Nash, had such a wonderful rich voice and interesting manner as I was not able to forgive Lynn Shephard for her abuse of Jane Austen. I changed my mind half way through the book when the book changed to a murder mystery. Suddenly, it all worked for me. I do love a good mystery and this one kept you wondering. It was one that I had not been able to figure out which also keeps me reading. I enjoyed the character of Charles Maddox who disgusts you in his crass personage at first but warms you with his knowledge of solving the unknown. I felt for him by the end of this book and happily his work continues in Shephard's second novel set in Dicken's time. Looking forward to it...
Happy reading!

Sounds thrilling...you come up with some great reads! I really don't know how you accomplish everything you do. Take care!
Sounds really good.
Sound like you found a good book to listen to, and good thing because you sure can't put your hooks and needles down long enough to read.
Have fun,
Love Mom
