Reviews


(3 stars)

Anna Simon could read the phone book and still keep me rapt. Dido is a perfect example of a borderline personality disorder with pathological narcissism. I could only take her in small doses. Jack was asking for it but I don't think he expected emasculation. I don't think I could recommend it. Not much depth


(3 stars)

so nice to hear Anna read but this book just not that interesting. Dodo is not a likable person and only thinks of herself. hopefully she changes in the story, but the author did not make me want to care. The Stars are for Anna. please read mysteries.

thank you thank you thank you

So happy to find an audio version of this book! Yes, Dodo is unbelievably self-centered, but in these Edwardian surroundings, she's a heroine. Think of her as an early version of one of Fitzgerald's flappers and enjoy the ride!

Engaging


(5 stars)

This was a roller coaster of entertainment with a stunner of a finalè. I highly recommend this novel with all its intended twists & turns within the spectrum of human emotions.


(4 stars)

Great reader and this books only saving grace. The reader is the only reason for 4 stars not 2 the story deserves.
