Enjoyable stories with historical base
Thoroughly enjoying those novels. If you like old fashioned mysteries that are gripping, but don’t scare the heck out of you, that’s one to enjoy. I also liked that there was more of a romantic angle, than in the last story. Really enjoy the series. Thank you to the author.

A very enjoyable audiobook
An excellent, exciting plot with great characters. I love the historical background and the way the experiences of the rich and poor are interwoven.
