Reviews
Another AKG Favorite!





Lori K
Amelia Butterworth is back! This made me happy as I found her a bit funny in That Affair Next Door, which I suggest you read before this to know the history of she & detective Gryce. She's less of an annoying old biddy here because she's investigating separately from Mr. Gryce. She's not quite as competitive nor stuck on herself which I like. The story has constant suspense & held my interest from start to finish. The reader was excellent, too.

I enjoyed this Anna Katharine Green mystery very much! Has a nice little twist to it that threw me off track but did like the ending! Excellent narration by Mary Bard my first time hearing her narration and hopefully not the last. All in all a very delightful mystery!
Simply greqt





I sure liked it a lot, a really interesting story with nice twists that keep you guessing and a very good reader to narrate it to perfection.
Couldn't stop listening!





Elizabeth
So well written. At times reminiscent of Jane Austen. Nuances in the writing beautifully realised by the reader. Thank you so much.
Good reader

Superb Narration, Riveting Story





bip bop
Best narrative performance of them all! The English accent would sometimes transport me to that country in my imagination, however, instead of keeping me in America where the novel is set, of course. Again, her performance is marvelous and entrancing, especially compared to some of the barely intelligible and strangely read AKG novels on this site (for which, don’t misunderstand, I am grateful). The story is one of the least convoluted of Green’s work, as well, and strange, so strange. This is definitely worth a listen. Su
