Very impressive!
I don’t normally lean towards this genre but did so for a change. I was absolutely thrilled by the story and all of the characters who started to become very real to me in a short bit of time.
The narration was beyond wonderful. A warm, deep, soothing yet also chipper voice was a joy to listen to. If asked, I am not sure if I would be able to choose my favorite. The book or the narration.
I highly recommend this book.

I Enjoyed The Book But!
My first Lucinda Riley book and it was a good listen. Hard to put down because the author has an awesome way of weaving so much into a story. I felt there were too many "darlings" in the story and I found it irritating that every character in the book used the term. But overall I did enjoy the book as most people did. I am going to start the Seven Sister Series.
Nicolette McKenzie was good with the delivery of the story.

“He rapes and abuses me, but I must stand by my man”
I tried, I really did. Got half way through this audiobook but the predictability of the plot, the heavy smoker’s voice of the reader, but finally, the truly antiquated depiction of relationships between men and women just got too irksome. Can’t finish. Don’t care what happens to these benighted characters.

This book is 17 hours long and you will never be bored. I found myself almost obsessing over trying to figure out the mystery. I loved the thorough character development of every character in this book. . Now, I will have to read another book by Lucinda Riley.

Des personnages attachants,
Les personnages de ce romans sont comme des amis, on croit les connaître déjà, un peu des stéréotypes, mais c’est tellement bien ficelié et cela se déroule comme une mécanique bien huilée, et en fin de compte on finit par être surpris par le dénouement... bravo l’artiste, toutes les ficelles narratives sont maîtrisées pour le plus grand plaisir du lecteur!
