Great for Downton Abbey fans, but…
This is a great story for those of us that need a Downtown Abbey fix (myself included). I really enjoyed about 95% of the book; however, I really disliked the lack of a good ending. Even with the short epilogue it still left too many things unanswered. I understand this is a planned trilogy but there could have been so much more at the end. Without giving away too many spoilers I’ll just say that the choice one of the sisters makes at the end made no sense to me. It just came out of nowhere and I don’t believe it was true to the character. (In my opinion)
Of course I will get the 2nd and 3rd books in this series because the story was so incomplete. It’s a shame that publishers/authors have to drag out stories just to make a few extra bucks.
Complaints aside, the narration was excellent!!! Spot on perfect. Overall this was an easy and enjoyable listen at a fantastic price.

Poor Narration
I'm seventeen minutes in to the book, but don't know if I can continue. I'm afraid Ms. Coomes' narration is really making it difficult to listen to the book. She is overly dramatic, there are odd pauses and breaths taken, and the voices seem like caricatures of characters, instead of possibly real people.
I'd had this on my Amazon wish list for quite some time, hoping the audio book would become available, and now I'm regretting the use of my credit.
I apologize for not reviewing the contents and the story, but I'm stuck on the poor narration.
