Özet
 From one of our most beloved authors, Mary Stewart, comes a thrilling tale set in a France as beautiful as it is deadly, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym.

High in the rugged Pyrenees lies the Valley of the Storms, where a tiny convent clings to the beautiful but lonely mountainside. Jenny Silver arrives seeking her missing cousin, and is devastated when she learns of Gillian's death following a terrible car accident. But Jenny's suspicions are aroused when she's told the blue flowers ornamenting her cousin's grave were Gillian's favourite. Jenny knows Gillian was colour-blind - and so starts her mission to uncover what really happened to her.

The growl and roar of thunder rolled an re-echoed from the mountains and the sword of the lightning stabbed down, and stabbed again, as if searching through the depths of the cringing woods for whatever sheltered there.

Narrator has a sweet voice but there's very little variety between characters' voices and her French accent is straight out of Allo Allo (we won't even talk about the attempt at Spanish). Call me pernickety but if you're going to record a series of books almost all set abroad it might make sense to employ bilingual narrators? Plenty of them around!

Story is vintage Mary Stewart. No complaints there!

Love the book, terrible French accents!

Beautifully narrated, with clear diction and elocution reminiscent of the mid-20th century. The story is a classic Mary Stewart with a confident heroine taking the lead, but with a gallant hero set to rescue her, and, ultimately, to steal her admiration, respect, and heart.

Pure escapism!

The narrator is not great - taking great gulping pauses whenever there's a comma - so unnatural. The French and Spanish accents are also excruciating. I stuck it out until the end because it's quite a good story but will be sending back as there are so many better narrators out there whose seamless delivery makes them a joy to listen to. This left me gritting my teeth in irritation.

Poor narration spoiled good story

Only with the speed on 85% the story has the same magic as when read.

A magic adventure, as always with Mary Stewart

Adventure is of its time, but still thrilling now. Mary Stewart's writing is beautiful. The reading is not too bad, but the colour of flowers kicks off the plot, and the reader can't pronounce gentian.

Superb
