Typical Amanda Quick.

If you have read one, you have read them all. But if you like them, this is a good one. At first I wasn't sure that I liked Barbara Rosenblat reading, but I got use to her and enjoyed the story, rating sould be 3.5. The mystery is very obvious but fun. It always cracks me up that Amanda/Jayne has a lot of her characters be novelist in her stories. Overall a fun and quick getaway.

Loved every minute!

Wonderful characters and humor. I’m never disappointed with Ms. Krentz/Quick. She always tells a great story.

Fun story

This story has humor, mystery and romance. Mrs Poole and the Mad Monk of Monkcrest come together to search for ancient rings. Other sinister characters are also after the rings. Barbara Rosenblatt does a great job with the different voices. I thoroughly enjoyed both reading and listening to this story

I liked the leading couple

This book was not typical in the sense that the hero & heroine were more mature. I liked that! Particularly the sarcastic humor related to being the doddering ages of 39 and 29 respectively. Additionally, the hero had some lovable characteristics (any man who talks to his dog is OK with me :-) and the heroine was not a simpering miss. As always Quick infuses humor which I enjoy. And the intrigue kept me going. I thought I guessed the ending a few times but the twists and turns threw me off enough to make me keep listening. It was worth my credit.

Charming and entertaing

Briefly - lLight , entertaining story of an older style. The narrator was a pleasure to listen to. I recommend it for easy listening.

Great Story and Narration

This is definitely worth a credit for story and narration. Lots of humor and mystery. You can't go wrong with Amanda Quick.

Loved this book!

The writing is excellent by Amanda, I throughly enjoyed this story.

The mystery and how well it was written. Enjoyed the story and the heroine very much.

Very Enjoyable

Since Barbara Rosenblat, one of my favorite narrators was narrating the book, Leo and Beatrice reminded me of Amelia Peabody and Radcliffe Emerson (Crocodile on the Sandbank, etc.).

I really enjoy listening to this book and getting a good chuckle of how Leo and Beatrice interacted with each other. It is also one of my favorite books by Amanda Quick.
