Miss Hewitt investigates the ripper

I found this story rather boring.Narration by Julia Eve was well done.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

Enjoyable

A charming Victorian ripper tale with a very likeable heroine in Miss Hewitt. You like her support system and you wonder how on earth her good friend Clark ever managed to get married to a greedy old harpy like his wife. The story flowed nicely and you definitely wanted Miss Hewitt to succeed in her quest and if she was lucky enough, get the happily ever after, she might not have been looking for in the first place. It had interesting characters as well as quirky ones and they were all good and the action wasn't bad either, So when you get a chance pick up a copy and enjoy.

good book, bad performance

I enjoyed the storyline and plot, just would have preferred reading this one. I'm not big on British accents.

One helluva mystery

Expertly written and narrated. Miss Eve has one of the finest voices in the industry. The story had many twists n turns and there was never a dull moment. kudos to all involved.

Ripping Yarn

Linda Stephenson has created a wonderful world, giving us a peek into WWI Britain. The characters (including a flatulent pup!) are well formed and each have their own voice, and the book even touches on themes not often encountered in stories set in this time period. Wonderfully narrated by Julia Eve, Miss Hewitt's world is one to which I cannot wait to return.
