About this listen

England, 1919. Verity Kent's grief over the loss of her husband pierces anew when she receives a cryptic letter, suggesting her beloved Sidney may have committed treason before his untimely death.

Lured to Umbersea Island to attend the engagement party of one of Sidney's fellow officers, Verity mingles among the men her husband once fought beside, discovering dark secrets and the shattering possibility that her husband may not have been the man she thought he was....

Enjoyed the period descriptions with good accurate details. Thought the narration was excellent. Great performance.

Enjoyed main character

You’re not sure of the traitors until the very end .Narrator was excellent , they can make or break an audio book , often I’ve heard the whiney irritating voice and given up within minutes . Definitely not the case here .

Intriguing story

It evoked the period the book is set in beautifully, a nice change from the modern day.

Light and entertaining.

Easy listening post WW1 cosy crime with plucky heroine, once again ignoring any sexist hurdles women had to leap over at the time. There’s some raised eyebrows at women drivers but that’s really as bad as it gets, let alone the idea that the heroine was a spy aged 17 in the war. It’s possible but hugely unbelievable given the demure nature of the character. Still, if you want something unchallenging to fall asleep to this makes pleasant listening. (As long as it’s free)

Cosy crime, quaint but generic & unchallenging

The narrator spoiled this for me. Cringy male voices.
The story was interesting enough but I will not be listening to the next in the series.
