Narrated by Alex Wyndham I decided to give Deadly Affair a try mainly because of the very strong recommendation Caz gave me for the narrator. Caz reviewed the first book in this series, Deadly Engagement and liked it very much. In her review, she mentioned that Ms. Brant took a leaf out of Laura Kinsale’s…
Narrated by Kate Reading This is the first book in Ms Alexander’s nine (so far) book Lady Emily series of mysteries set in the late Victorian era, but is the most recently recorded of the set. A look around Audible (US) shows that Book 2 (although it’s not labelled as such) is available, as are…
The latest trend in mystery novels seems to be a writing device I call “land them in the middle”. When done well this can mean the reader enters the tale just as things are really starting to happen, which increases the action factor and keeps the pace of the story brisk. Many times however I…
Narrated by Alex Wyndham It took me no more than five minutes of listening to this to know that in Alex Wyndham, Lucinda Brant had found the perfect narrator for her story. I saw a recent entry on her Facebook page that said she was very excited at having engaged him to narrate this, the…
Narrated by Michael Page A Matter of Grave Concern is one of those books that has an interesting premise and starts strongly, but which loses momentum fairly quickly and ends up not living up to its potential. The story is set in London in 1830, at a time when the study of the medical sciences was…
When Lady Julia Fieldhurst is banished by her late husband’s family (along with her three nephews), she wasn’t expecting to stumble upon a body on the beach. Luckily, the body in question survives, but this leads to a new conundrum – is this truly the long lost daughter of the local Laird? Or is she…
Narrated by Derek Perkins Vienna Waltz is a real treat for fans of meaty, intricately plotted and well-researched historical fiction. Set during the Congress of Vienna in 1814, when the ambassadors from the major powers in Europe – Britain, Austria, Prussia, Russia and France – gathered in order to seek a long-term peace following the French…
Narrated by Heather Wilds It’s possible that I may have squealed with delight when I learned that Anna Lee Huber’s series of historical mysteries featuring Lady Keira Darby were being released as audiobooks. The books themselves (there are three so far; The Anatomist’s Wife is first in the series) have all proved to be highly entertaining,…
Narrated by Leigh Ryan Still Life with Murder is a couple of firsts for me – first time for the author and first time listening to the narrator. I love mysteries, so it was no problem (and actually a welcome break) to go from the emotional pull of romance to the tension of a murder mystery….
This is the third in Anna Lee Huber’s series of romantic mysteries set in 19th century Scotland and it’s a highly satisfying read on both counts. Lady Keira Darby is the widow of a renowned physician and anatomist who married her solely for her talents as an artist. Too tight-fisted to pay for someone to…
