Reviews

No surprise but still enjoyable


(4 stars)

I figured out what happened early on. Normally, this doesn't happen to me. I don't see how anyone could be surprised about Henry. Still, this was an enjoyable story. Even though I knew I was curious about how the characters would find out & what the consequences would be. Also, there are other mysteries & twists that kept me guessing. The ending was great.

great readers


(4.5 stars)

This is my 7th or 8th ME Braddon and this isn’t as good as some of her other sensation novels but still enjoyable and well read by all the readers; thank-you for taking the time to record these books and for giving us books that would be otherwise be collecting dust

A favorite


(3.5 stars)

This is one of my favorit ME Braddon books. she is a brilliant author. You get connected with the characters and the story, so you cant stop listening! This story has plenty of twists andvturns, even though the mystery isnt hard to figure out, the story unfolds very nicely.

Enjoyable read


(4 stars)

I enjoyed this book. Though there are numerous readers, all are very good. It kept my interest right up to the last chapter which ties up the preceding events nicely. I definitely recommend.

good


(4 stars)

I could guess the mystery easily but was interesting characters and happenings. The readers change throughout the book but they are all agreeable readers.

on and on and on.....


(3 stars)

I so often thought she was going to conclude the story but she would just take it in another twist.

N o Surprises Here


(5 stars)

A pleasant Collins story, but without any unexpected twists or turns. The reality of Henry Dunbar's teal identity is obvious aost

Another great MEB mystery


(4 stars)

surprising twists and a detective, Henry Carter, who deserves a place in literary history right next to Inspector Bucket.
