Great listen. Unfortunately it is abridged.
I really enjoyed the book. I really wish that it was not abridged. The story was too condensed for me. I wanted to luxuriate in the prose.

Obviously the heroine.
What about Edward Herrmann’s performance did you like?

Brilliantly done!
An old fashioned detective mystery that is well written and engrossing. The story transports you straight back in time, giving a truly atmospheric feeling. I loved the characters who are well rounded. Can't wait to read the next one.

Abridged?!? Dammit!
Why oh why didn't i see this was abridged? I HATE abridged books. They are so cobbled together and hopelessly unsatisfying. So annoyed with myself. Who on earth actually prefers an abridged book to a real book, anyway???
