Outstanding

I have just recently found this author. I have enjoy the history and intrigue. I will read more!

Fascinating and engaging story w good narration

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery. I had an inkling of the “who dunnit” by the end but that didn’t ruin it at all, as the details were the fun and mysterious part. The narration was very good though not a great American accent but I don’t mind that. The plot was engaging and easy to follow without a lot of superfluous violence or romance. All in all, thoroughly engaging and I will look at more from this author.

Interesting mystery, clean content

(increasing the speed to 1.4X made for better listening).

I definitely want to hear more in this series: easy listening, with an interesting mystery; and, thankfully no women are subjected to brutal misconduct after they are kidnapped. (Lillie is a liberated woman in her era, which I thought would have attracted more animosity. )
I wonder if Daniel will show up again, somewhere, in a later story?

Extra: Some cursing and using God's name as an expletive. No f-bombs. Abandoned children, orphans, a policeman has O.C.D.

Interesting

I find novels with some historical inferences very interesting. I still find the characters fascinating.
