With This Ring

By: Amanda Quick

Narrated by: Janet McTeer

Leo Drake, the “Mad Monk of Monkcrest,” is notoriously eccentric and unquestionably reclusive. But he is also a noted antiquities expert, which is why Beatrice Poole has demanded his reluctant assistance.

The freethinking authoress of “horrid novels,” Beatrice is searching for the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, a mythic treasure she suspects played a role in her uncle's death. Beatrice finds Leo every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels—and she's convinced he's the only one who can help her. But after only five minutes in her company, Leo is sure he's never met a woman more infuriating . . . and more likely to rescue him from boredom.

Yet the alliance may well prove to be the biggest mistake of their lives. For a villain lurks in London, waiting for the pair to unearth the Forbidden Rings—knowing that when they do, that day will be their last. . . .

Short story that's entertaining

Fun and interesting. Short story with great dialogue and characters including all walks of life

Abridged!

Poorly abridged with no clear warning. Waisted money even given the sale price. I am disappointed in the labeling system.

Abridged ineptly

They cut way too much out of this version of the book. Hence the ending is confusing.

Unremarkable

Amanda Quick must have used Ai on this one. I wasted time and money. Not much of a plot and content was boring.

we want the unabridged/Barbara Rosenblatt version

This abridged version and this narrator don't do this book justice.

Wait for Audible to offer Recorded Books' wonderful versions of this and other early Quick books. They're funny, fast-paced, and charming.
