Historia
Xanthe has always had an affinity with some of the antiques she finds. When she touches them, she can sense something of the past they come from and the stories they hold. When she has an intense connection to a beautiful silver chatelaine, she has to know more. It is while she’s examining the chatelaine that she’s transported back to the 17th century, where it has its origins. She discovers there is an injustice in its history. The spirit that inhabits her new home confronts her and charges her with saving her daughter’s life, threatening to take Flora’s if she fails.

The death of Callie Scott's fashionable father left her with nothing - except an inquisitive mind not even her grandmother's puritanical upbringing could quash. An adventurous spirit doesn't get her much in New York City, however, except an abysmal position as a ladies maid. Things are looking up when she lands a trial job in a library. Her benefactor's offer of wine before noon should have signaled something amiss.

Historia
Francis Bacon is charged with investigating the murder of a fellow barrister at Gray's Inn. He recruits his unwanted protégé Thomas Clarady to do the tiresome legwork. The son of a privateer, Clarady will do anything to climb the Elizabethan social ladder. Bacon's powerful uncle, Lord Burghley, suspects Catholic conspirators of the crime, but other motives quickly emerge. Rival barristers contend for the murdered man's legal honors and wealthy clients. Highly-placed courtiers are implicated as the investigation reaches from Whitehall to the London streets. Bacon does the thinking; Clarady does the fencing. Everyone has something up his pinked and padded sleeve. Even the brilliant Francis Bacon is at a loss - and in danger - until he sees through the disguises of the season of Misrule.

Strangers meet, romance blossoms. But there's a test...A classic fairytale retold. Good English families all have a house in the country with a deer park, a trout stream, and an army of gardeners. They should have a son and if it can be managed, he should be handsome. Cleverness isn't important. Daughters in limited quantities are fine so long as they are pretty. Bastards are inconvenient and best ignored. It's not a big problem, unless you are one. Unfortunately, Sophy is.

Resumen del Editor
Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, 1736. A foggy September evening. When a child is killed by an unknown horseman, musician sleuth Charles Patterson, the only witness close enough to see that the collision was no accident, vows to hunt down the rider. But there are distractions. Richard Nightingale, a fashionable “ladder-dancer”, arrives from London to cause havoc with the ladies.
A local lad, Cuthbert Ridley, sets the town in uproar for the fun of it. And Kate, a girl from the slums, is determined to become a musician – even though no respectable woman ever performs in public. When Nightingale is attacked, Patterson realises the situation is far more complicated then he thought. Can Patterson find the murderer before someone else dies?

Historia
In 1780s London, a prosperous merchant finds his quiet life upended when he unexpectedly receives an unusual creature - and meets a most extraordinary woman - in this much-lauded, atmospheric debut that examines our capacity for wonder, obsession, and desire. One September evening in 1785, Jonah Hancock hears an urgent knocking on his front door near the docks of London. The captain of one of Jonah’s trading vessels is waiting eagerly on the front step, bearing shocking news. On a voyage to the Far East, he sold the Jonah’s ship for something rare and far more precious: a mermaid.

Great Narrator - Indifferent Historical Mystery
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I really didn't care much for the book. I found a sense of the period totally lacking and parts of it were positively boring - especially all the back forth between Charles and his wife. I prefer historical mystery that bring the period alive and that is not the case here. It could be any period in time actually.
What was most disappointing about Roz Southey???s story?
For a historical mystery this lacked a sense of period. Dropping in carriages and long dresses and swords is simply not enough to recreate a period. I had no feeling the characters were living in the 18th century. I will not be reading another one in this series again.
Also I didn't like the character of the little girl - I found her irritating and annoying. I wish she had been left out. The wife was not very appealing either and I found Charles a bit on the weak side. I also did not like that hint of sci-fi or fantasy with the ghosts and stepping through into another world. Had I known the book had these elements in I would not have wasted a credit on it.
The plot wasn't too bad but it was stretched out over too many hours for as thin as it was. I had the feeling that a lot of the writing was just filler and did nothing to move the plot along which made listening to it sheer tedium.
What does Gordon Griffin bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?
He is a great narrator and one of my favorites. He always manages to create a sense of character in even the most unappealing books. His narration was the only thing that saved the book from my awarding it ONE star.
Could you see The Ladder Dancer being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
NO
Any additional comments?
I felt I wasted one credit - I felt the "blurb" about the book should have warned the reader of these ahistorical elements such as Ghosts, stepping through time. I don't like these elements in book and avoid books that have them.
