À propos de cet audio

 Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

These ominous words, slashed from the pages of a book of Psalms, are the last threat that the darling of London society, Sir Edward Grey, receives from his killer. Before he can show them to Nicholas Brisbane, the private inquiry agent he has retained for his protection, Sir Edward collapses and dies at his London home, in the presence of his wife, Julia, and a roomful of dinner guests.

Prepared to accept that Edward's death was due to a long-standing physical infirmity, Julia is outraged when Brisbane visits and suggests that Sir Edward has been murdered. It is a reaction she comes to regret when she discovers the damning paper for herself, and realizes the truth.

Determined to bring her husband's murderer to justice, Julia engages the enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward's demise. Dismissing his warnings that the investigation will be difficult, if not impossible, Julia presses forward, following a trail of clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever closer to a killer who waits expectantly for her arrival.

I really like this author and love audiobooks...I've listened to hundreds of them. My question with this one is why oh why use a narrator putting on an obviously fake and cringe-worthy British accent when there are so many excellent British narrators talented in performing the range of dialects called for??? The poorly executed accents are so distracting I'm not sure I can finish listening to the book. Unless there is a change in future narrations of this series I will move to reading the books instead.

Good story poorly performed

My first book by Deanna Raybourn, enjoyed the story and characters immensely. The narration was great just downloading the second in the series.

Amazing intriguing story

Almost didn't jump into this series based on other commentary but glad I did!

Enjoyed it!

Good, fast-paced story. The narrator’s terrible accents detracted from the experience. I’m not sure I would recommend this audio book as a consequence.

Good story; poor narration

Story line meandered unnecessarily. Instead of capturing and holding reader’s interest for the next salient clue, it dragged. Felt the story needed to edited more precisely to clear away some rambling passages.

Dragged out story

The story is quite good but the narrator is literally the worst I have ever heard. Her attempts at different accents made me cringe every time and her pronunciation of words is extremely irritating. Her interpretation of Lady Julia made me hate the character and overall she really ruined my immersion into the story. I would recommend reading the books instead of listening to this version.

Worst narrator ever

For a regency mystery, I was a little off-put by how twisty this tale turned out to be. The narrator (who sounds remarkably like Kate Beckinsale) was wonderful, but this book was frightfully slow, & when details DID pan out, it was just a little on the gross side for mr taste in fiction.
