About this listen

Calista Langley operates an exclusive "introduction" agency in Victorian London, catering to respectable ladies and gentlemen who find themselves alone in the world. But now a dangerously obsessed individual has begun sending her trinkets and gifts suitable only for those in deepest mourning - a black mirror, a funeral wreath, a ring set with black jet stone. Each is engraved with her initials.

Desperate for help and fearing that the police will be of no assistance, Calista turns to Trent Hastings, a reclusive author of popular crime novels. Believing that Calista may be taking advantage of his lonely sister, who has become one of her clients, Trent doesn't trust her. Scarred by his past, he's learned to keep his emotions at bay, even as an instant attraction threatens his resolve. But as Trent and Calista comb through files of rejected clients in hopes of identifying her tormentor, it becomes clear that the danger may be coming from Calista's own secret past - and that only her death will satisfy the stalker....

The story is quite gripping if gothic and far fetched but the shrill female voices of the narrator are quite bad.

It is good entertainment, one might be better off reading the book.

Very gothic novel, but narration is pretty awful

Narration is a parody or some comedic imitation of genteel English. Female voices especially dreadful, turning protagonists into brainless dummies with screechy and squeaky voices. Couldn't stop laughing at overemphasised dialog.
All the merits of this story are completely obliterated by appalling narration.

So-so story and oh so horrid narration.

I mostly liked the story & the characters. I kinda guessed the twist straight away, but it was still enjoyable.

The narration however, left a lot to be desired... all the voices sounded identical & worse, they were all grating & high-pitched, which spoiled the effect of the story as it made it comical... which I'm guessing wasn't the intended effect & a really odd choice on the narrator's part...

a nice story, shame about the narration
