Subpar Story

The narrator is unrealistically naive, and although, not overly long, the story drags. There is also unnecessary repetition, like there's a word quota.

One of my favorite authors

I love that her books have a little romance and a little mystery and this one is no different. Kept me interested throughout. I enjoyed the the narration, her voice was easy to listen to.

Elegantly gothic and mysterious

I’ve been a Victoria Holt fan since I was a teenager and decades later I’m enjoying her gothic stories in audible format. I wasn’t too fond of the female reader doing the male voice. I wished it was read by an actual male voice. Otherwise the reader was very good.

Loved! So Brilliant Suspensive till the End!! ♥️

Incredible!! I absolutely loved the storyline with so much excitement guessing who was responsible for all the mystery behind the true crimes!!

Highly recommend! Holt was a brilliant writer!!

Escapism deluxe!

I am aware VH is not considered great literature but her stories are so captivating! I loved them since the first one I listened to, Shadow of the Lynx.
