Couldn’t Stop Listening!
LexiBlossom
An incredibly intricate tale of intrigue, murder, politics, and two romances by Oppenheim. You can tell this man knew how to write, and how to develop characters/plots. One of the things I loved about this book were the different, distinct, groups of characters that were brought together. I loved how one chapter would tell what one group was doing, and another chapter would skip over to the other group. And how they all then intersected with the amazing chain of events that were happening. This is a nice fast-paced book that I don’t think anyone would be bored with. I recommended it to my husband because I think he would enjoy it too.
A MORE INCISIVE OPPENHEIM

You will enjoy the many twists in this one. This presents the author in his finest characterization. We are better acquainted with the actors than in any of his other novels. And the narration by Tom Weiss is always great.

Loved this book, an intrigue and a finely knit story. Not in the least drag or boring. It is well knit story of intrigue and circumstances.
