Enjoyable, amusing, and brief tales. the sort that fill in the gaps of Sir Percy's and Chauvelin's tortured relationship. A variety of readers with varied levels of experience aided me nicely in knowing these stories, and I am grateful for their complimentary service.
nicely done

Painful pronunciation

Not only can she not pronounce the most basic French (Jaques, guillotine), but English is also challenging to her stuttered, grating reading (surreptitious, etc) It’s painful.

The story is enjoyable but some of the narration is stilted. It is worth listening through even with this difficulty!

Some sequels are flops ... but these sequels are perfect! Some readers need vocabulary correction, otherwise well done.
