Reviews


(4 stars)

"For the honor of the family name", a scoundrel is allowed to continue their wickedness. How is that possibly call "Honor". I believe it more honorable to stop and expose evil, than hide it.

Good story, reader mispronounces a lot


(3 stars)

A selfish, gluttonous lord, eating himself into deep debt, forces his sister to marry a rich man without love, so the lord can suck as much money out of him as possible. The sister does so, and honorably - she represses the love she has for her cousin, poor, and heir to the title. And the cousin is honorable, too, staying away from her, staying busy by painting a beautiful gypsy girl in a cottage in the woods, near the gypsy camp. Then the troubles begin. Good story; reader has so many mispronounced words, they're in every chapter. "Sententiously" is a common one, but excusable, I suppose. But "funeral pyre" in the second last chapter? I applaud her putting herself out there, but it certainly grates on the ears to hear so many mispronunciations.

There's a lot of unrequited love for 1 man, selfishness, & gypsies in this story. There is a murder to solve but there is more of a focus on the characters. The summary is accurate.

Good story, fairly good reader


(4 stars)

Interesting story and worth a listen. Sharon Kilmer is a good reader, though there was a mispronunciation in Chapter 10 - the word is "apoplectic", not "apocalyptic".

neatly wrapped up ending!


(4 stars)

Thanks to reader for the time and effort she put into reading the book for LibriVox. The mispronunciations were jarring, but the plot kept me interested.

Too much gypsy speech


(1 stars)

Reader is great, but the story is drawn out and not so interesting

THE ULTIMATE ALLEGORY


(5 stars)

Hume never wastes time with a drawn out ending.
