LeTour de Paris

The Chronicles of Tavara Tinker Book 1

By: Sharon Skinner, Bob Nelson

Narrated by: Melanie Fraser

Tavara Tinker leads a double life. By day, a proper Victorian lady. By night, deep in the heart of industrial London, she maintains a research laboratory and a steam-powered factory where she creates the clothes and weapons for a new generation of adventurer.

Tavara and her quirky band of intrepid heroes visit Paris on a quest to obtain a rare fabric for a client, only to discover they're not the only ones with an interest in it.

A Lovely Short Story With Excellent Narration

"LeTour de Paris" was a neat short about Tavara Tinker who's an interesting and intriguing character. I liked this story and hope there's more to come in the chronicles. I'd really enjoy seeing where this character goes and what she does next. I also loved the subtle sound effects in the story.

What I especially liked was the narration. Melanie Fraser is terrific. She has a super voice and a brilliant knack for capturing the characters persona. She also has a great accent with exquisite French.

--I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I have never listened to a steampunk book before, and was pleasantly surprised by this story. While just enough to wet your appetite, this story was action packed and full of adventure. I loved the fact that the strongest character, both in personality and body was a woman. How refreshing for a historical story to have a woman as the main, substantial character. Tara never ceased to amaze me, from her getting ready to leave, to her battle over payments. The story kept you on the edge of your seat wanting more!

As always, Melanie Fraser delivers a perfect narration. Her voice is spot on for each character. Loved the French accent. Hoping there is more to this story soon...it just can't end here!
