Long winded, boring

I thought after listening to book one that I had made my peace with all the POV‘s and I could listen to book 2, and then I started listening to book 2, and realized that was not the case.
I skipped half this book right over both murders and even with doing that, I felt like I missed nothing. I picked it back up when they were resting again all black marketers and write about to do the séance.

This book is way too long winded and no offense, but I don’t know why I have Dottie‘s point of view yes, I realized we needed her point of view when it came to her meeting violet, but I think it was kind of stupid that she meets her, knows about Blake’s history, but doesn’t put two and two together and that she meets Violet and doesn’t mention any of this to the others who could also put two and two together. Then again, I wouldn’t know if she did mention it or if she did come to the conclusion because I skipped so many chapters. It was just boring. I didn’t need to be repeatedly reminded about all the hardship …yet the lady of the manner wants catering for 150 people….when they are on rations? 😂

I love Harry’s point of view, and I almost wish that the author stuck with just his it would make this book run so much smoother and be so much more enjoyable, everyone else’s pov just muddies the water, except for Alice. The little side story about Evie being a spy, where apparently the German army are going to seek her out, ugh, give me a break.

I found book one way more interesting and I found myself listening to that entire book even though I also found that book long winded, but this one just got caught up in the tiny minute details of nothingness just to tell a story that had nothing to do with the actual story. To sum it up: (stop here if you don’t want spoilers)









A wealthy woman has a husband, his friend, a wealthy man, wishes to have the woman as his wife, so he decides to kill the first husband. It looks like they have a daughter and then there’s this random girl that’s in a mental institution and the new husband is paying for her to stay in this institution. It turns out this girl saw the new husband putting the poison in the flask of the old husband and then planting the poisoned vile in the husband’s luggage. He then sends the girl away, so she can’t spill the beans. Meanwhile, the wife is already pregnant with the old husband‘s child, but they decide to say nothing and raise the daughter like she’s the new husband‘s child. The daughter finds the diary of the girl that was sent away. She gets upset, goes away herself after realizing she’s been written out of the will.
The daughter marries, and her and her husband devise a plan to pretend to be the old husband‘s ghost, in order to scare the new husband and they eventually kill him.

All of the above is revealed at the end, we see none of it.

The plan is to also kill the mother that way the daughter can inherit everything. They also need to kill the girl that’s in the mental institution because they can’t have her blabbing the secret.

We come in when they start their scare tactics….and eventually two people are killed.
That’s the entire story. Nine hours long just to tell that story is ridiculous. Everything else is filler.
