The Lost Tower

Nicole Rayburn Historical Mysteries, Book 4

By: Irina Shapiro

Narrated by: Jess Nahikian

When Nicole visits Stiles Castle, the stately home of Lady Caroline Seaton, she doesn’t expect to stumble upon a centuries-old mystery hidden in the noble family’s genealogical tree. Once she finds that some vital details have been removed from the ancestral records, Nicole can’t refuse her friend’s plea to discover the truth and help her save the floundering family business.

Unearthing the origins of Caroline’s elusive Tudor ancestor proves trickier than Nicole anticipated, but the ancient secrets that are revealed are just as incendiary as the decades-old lies that a simple DNA test has exposed within Nicole and Kyle’s own family.

Will this be the case that changes their lives forever?

Excellent narration

Narration was very appropriate for the story and not over dramatized. Good pacing, articulation and tempo.

Keep my me wondering

I really love this series. I like the way the two stories keep you guessing and wondering how it will turn out. Will definitely be getting the next book and probably be listening to it in one sitting.

Really interesting historical stories

My only real complaint is that Kyle is SO WHINEY. Look we all have angst, but his overwrought obsessions about the genetic history of his child is just too much. He needs to get a grip - I honestly just want to fast-forward through these parts.

This was the very best in really good series minus book 2

Oh my goodness
This was exquisite writing. beautiful stories in both the past and the present and how they entertains us so very clever … the characters are so believable and so very human and courageous .
Bravo!!!
And enjoy the whole series ( maybe minus book 2)

Another banger!

this was another great story in the series. the plot was good but I felt focused way too much on the past. while the rest of the book that dealt with the present day seemed to only be there clip off some story lines from earlier books.
while listening to it, I kind of got the feeling that this was a filler book. really just there to bridge the gap and to fill in gaps between the books
