Resumen del Editor

When Mr. Edmund Winterton of Woodside dies, his daughters find themselves penniless and homeless. What can they do? Unless they wish to live on charity, they will have to find genteel employment for themselves.

In book one, Annabelle becomes governess to the daughters of the recently bereaved Earl of Brackenwood. She has no idea how to teach, but her pupils can learn all they need from books, so how difficult can it be? She’ll need all her ingenuity to cope with the rebelliousness of her charges and the unwanted attentions of their father. But, when her past returns to haunt her, she has to make a difficult decision.

In book two, widowed Lucy finds a post as chaperon to two young ladies while their mother is awaiting the birth of her child. It sounds like easy work, well-suited to her sociable nature, but the sisters squabble over their suitors, and there are tensions below the surface of the seemingly happy family. Then there is the charming Mr. Audley, who is more interested in flirting with Lucy than in discovering where his sisters have disappeared to. And, as for Lucy’s uncle, who lives nearby, she’s quite convinced he is hiding something. Curiosity is Lucy’s abiding sin, and one day it will get her into trouble.

In book three, Margaret is the quiet one of the Winterton family, happy only in her own home with her sisters protectively gathered around her. As a poor relation, Margaret must become a lowly paid companion to two elderly aunts she has never met. There is no welcome for Margaret at their gloomy house, Pendarreth, but the surrounding woods bring her solace - and unexpected danger.

This is an audiobook collection containing books 1-3 of the five-book series Sisters of Woodside Mysteries. Each audiobook is a complete story with a happy-ever-after ending, but listen to them all to find out all the secrets of Winterton family!

Wonderful

Great collection of 3 stories…..filled with notable & interesting characters. I always enjoy this narrator’s interpretation of all the myriad of characters!!

Wonderful Woodside saga!

I loved these stories and the vivid characters. Each story weaves together these amazing lives of the Woodside sisters. One problem. The recording ended before the last story ended! I was heartbroken!

Narrator’s Shrill Voice

I wish authors would get seasoned actors to narrate their work. When this narrator imitated children and young women, especially when they screamed or raised their voices in alarm, the narrator’s voice became as shrill as fingernails on a blackboard and I could not stand it. It was, literally, painful. It detracted from what would otherwise have been a pleasant story. How unfortunate.
