Publisher's Summary
Drawing upon her background in ancient history and her experiences on archaeological digs, author C.S. Harris crafts authentic, compelling novels that appear regularly on best-seller lists and have won numerous awards. In 1812, surgeon Paul Gibson discovers a stiletto wound in the base of a corpse’s skull and immediately contacts Sebastian St. Cyr. And when another body turns up with the same injury, the lives of St. Cyr’s family are threatened if he doesn’t back off. Now, the pressure’s on to find the culprit before anyone else gets killed.

"Mystery with a little romance"
I love this series. It combines great plot lines and mysteries that keep you guessing with some wonderful characters that I have grown quite attached to. Sebastian St. Cyr, the lead man, not only solves murder mysteries, but has many of his own mysteries to untangle in his own life. The characters have taken on a life of their own and I can't wait for the next installment in the series. The narrator has a wonderful English accent that blends well with the storyline and characters as well. Highly recommend - but try to read the first books in the series prior to this one.

"An Oustanding Series"
Sebastian St. Cyr's mysteries are outstanding. I love the Regency setting which is so skillfully brought to life by C.S Harris. The aura of mystery around the parentage of Sebastian adds to the story. We never really get the full facts of his parentage and the author only reveals a little in each novel. It is too bad that Audible does not have the whole series available.
This particular mystery is concerned with the political deals and the origin of the War of 1812 in the US. It concerns the plot of financial backing of various factions which result in murder and a little graverobbing to establish the muder.
As always this is a lively read and should not be overlooked by lovers of historical mysteries and lovers of G. Heyer.2 of 2 people found this review helpful -

"not cookie-cutter crumbly"
This mystery-procedural is mostly solid listening, but with a few incredible scenes-- still with a better than average plot for the genre. The Regency rather than Victorian setting is a welcome change, too. There is some very nice historical detail but it's combined with quite a bit of psychological anachronism and, more unfortunately, the usual "quizzing glass" and "chit just out of the schoolroom" cliches. I'd download more from the series for easy listening - but feel no haste to burn off a credit for another right away,
Although there is some minor melodramatic derring-do and almost a formula bodice ripping scene, happpily it's closer to a cozy than a thriller or a Harlequin (no bodices are actually harmed in that manner in the production).
I love Davina Porter's narration ??? but I think a male narrator or a fresh voice would have been better for this listen.3 of 4 people found this review helpful -

"I kept expecting it to get better..."
Would you consider the audio edition of Where Shadows Dance to be better than the print version?This is a useless question because readers of Audible reviews are going to listen to it or not listen to it.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Where Shadows Dance?Can't think of one.
Which character – as performed by Davina Porter – was your favorite?None
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?No
Any additional comments?This was fairly boring despite a good narrator. It had potential, but just didn't quite deliver on plot.

"Please get the whole series!"
Davina Porter never disappoints! This is the fifth book in a fabulous series and I hope Audible will get them all. The main character is unique and magnetic and the introduction of a new female, Hero Jarvis, adds a great dimension. I wholly recommend reading the entire series--in order. The mysteries are always riveting, the romance aspect is intriguing, the writing is terrific, and the continuing story lines that connect all of the books create ongoing suspense and interest.
