Good story & characters

I listened to this book on audible. Very enjoyable. Good story. Good characters. I didn't give it 5 stars because that would mean it was perfect. Nothing is perfect. I will be looking for more of the same in audible.

Great!

This second installment in this series really upped the ante from book one and was excellent. Great mystery with a lot of a lot of red herrings. Great history tidbits through that sent me down a few rabbit holes! Great narration!

Cartoon characters

Shame the narrator had such trouble with female voices. Betty Boops with English accents. The voices created characters you couldn’t take seriously and demeaned a character’s intelligence every time they opened their mouths.

Jim Eldridge, Author

Sorry to say, but this author has pulled my ability to stay in his books by giving his characters little remarks (long time no see) that I don't think people said in the late eighteen hundreds. I think someone should have told him about it before now.

Annoying lady voices

I was annoyed by the way the narrator voiced female characters. No dimension besides comically shrill.
