About this listen

Every old house has its secrets, so it comes as no surprise when a relic of a noble Victorian family is discovered in the new home of historical author Nicole Rayburn and her husband Kyle. Curious about the lovely young woman in the sepia photograph, Nicole delves into the history of the family and stumbles on a long-forgotten mystery.

Lily Redmond, daughter of Scotland Yard Superintendent Jason Redmond, vanished without a trace in the spring of 1888. Determined to figure out what happened to Lily, Nicole joins forces with renowned historian Quinn Allenby, whose unique psychic ability might also be required to solve a more recent crime that bears striking similarities to Lily’s disappearance.

Interesting story but the pronunciation was poor and not English. I do wish American authors writing about England would not use American words for instance Foyer is not used to describe the hall of a house perhaps they could use an English editor

good story spoilt by the narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Another great story, I’ve gone through these 4 books far too quickly.
Narrator was excellent. Stories excellent.

When’s the next one coming?

I really tried to listen to this book after persevering through the ones prior, but I’m afraid I couldn’t cope with the terrible narration. The prior ones were hard enough, even though the stories were very good, this story lacks in interest. The narration is too much for me, I’m afraid, so let’s find some well spoken not painfully pompous narrator.

Unbearable narration.

Story was unclear, so many characters to try and keep track of. Shame, as I have enjoyed so many of this authors books.

Pronunciation/ narrative was very poor

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
adding a psychic, has ruined this series, I will not be looking for more if this is how the next books will be like

adding a psychic has made the story ridiculous
