About this listen

Beautiful and brilliant, Kendra Donovan is a rising star at the FBI. Yet her path to professional success hits a speed bump during a disastrous raid where half her team is murdered, a mole in the FBI is uncovered, and she herself is severely wounded. As soon as she recovers, she goes rogue and travels to England to assassinate the man responsible for the deaths of her teammates.

While fleeing from an unexpected assassin herself, Kendra escapes into a stairwell that promises sanctuary but when she stumbles out again, she is in the same place - Aldrich Castle - but in a different time: 1815, to be exact.

Mistaken for a lady's maid hired to help with weekend guests, Kendra is forced to quickly adapt to the time period until she can figure out how she got there; and, more importantly, how to get back home. However, after the body of a young girl is found on the extensive grounds of the county estate, she starts to feel there's some purpose to her bizarre circumstances. Stripped of her 21st century tools, Kendra must use her wits alone in order to unmask a cunning madman.

I stuck with the storyline falling in and out of favour with the narrator, her male ‘voices’ were disappointing and probably not necessary. I wanted to give up on more than one occasion but carried on to the bitter end. The heroine was more than a bit flaky in parts than she should have been given she was supposed to be an FBI agent of super intelligence. Overall an ok listen but won’t be investing in this author again.

The narrator killed it for me

As previously mentioned by another reviewer ….

This is a great story - very unusual and gripping but audio draaaaaaaaaags …. So speed up to 1.2 and it’s fine

Worth preserving to get right audio pace as the story is great

Great story - speed up audio to listen

A silly but entertaining story, with some historical inaccuracies and dreadful narration. Still, it wasted a few hours whilst doing chores.

Frothy fun, not to be taken seriously
