A Very Fun Mystery

Review from Family Plot →

I thoroughly enjoyed this fun regency mystery. I especially liked that the whole of the mystery wasn’t overly obvious and threw a bit of a twist in there to keep you guessing. I have not previously listened to the first 2 books in the series but was able to catch up quickly. There is a..

Well Read

Review from The Necromancer’s Dance →

The voices are consistently done. The accent seems quite a bit more blue collar Roslindale than white collar Beacon Hill, but at least it’s consistently done. The Irish accent sounds good to me, but I wasn’t raised in Ireland. The story is well done. Strong setting, strong characters, and humor sprinkled throughout. We like the..

Adventure – Porn?

Review from Cronin’s Key →

This ended up being: 80% exposition, 15% unnecessary/overly descriptive sex scenes, and 5% plot.

I found that while each of Sheri’s books can easily be read as stand-alones, reading them in order and especially reading..

I LOVED IT!!!

Review from Family Plot →

John Pickett and Lady Fieldhurst are so endearing characters. I love how well developed the author has written these characters. She provides such great imagery for the times and seems to have the proper mannerisms down to a T. The story has such interesting twists and turns, and vivid descriptions. The narrator fits the book..

excellent

Review from Body Shot →

The first book in the series was a 5-star listen, this one is too and so much more. Maybe because Mike picked my interest in book 1, and Mr. Froomkin brought him to life with passion, his Scot brogue is to die for *sigh* his voice is so versatile it was a pleasure to listen…
