A Fall from Grace

Nicole Rayburn Historical Mysteries, Book 6

By: Irina Shapiro

Narrated by: Jess Nahikian

When Nicole Rayburn adds a historic bookshop to her list of promotional venues, she meets the owner, Deborah Dolan, who’s desperate to discover what happened to her Victorian ancestor. A well-respected playwright, Edgar Hilliard seemingly had it all: professional success, a thriving business, and a loving family, but according to family lore, Edgar walked out one night, never to return, an unfinished manuscript his only legacy to future generations.

Deborah’s obsession with Edgar borders on the unhealthy, but despite her better judgment, Nicole can’t seem to walk away from this new challenge and enlists the help of her friend, Dr. Quinn Allenby to solve the mystery. Nicole and Quinn are determined to discover what happened to Edgar, but their search for answers is hindered by unexpected personal obstacles that threaten to alter the course of their lives forever.

My favorite of them all

This one had Nicole on a wild goose chase for the truth about the past parallel story and it was very entertaining. This has some suspense for once, and had me feeling terrible for grace. It also had me pulling my hair with the grace and bird girl situation. The only gripe I have again is the Covid talk through out the book.

Another good mystery

I love Irina Shapiro’s books; reading 22 of them all kept me engaged in the story. The narrator’s performance was excellent. I hope there will be a book 7 to this series.

A Favorite Series

I listened to the first four books for the second time to freshen my mind and just finished the last two. I love the entire series and hope for more to follow. It makes me want to re-listen to the Echos from the Past series, but there are so many other Irinia books that I want to read!

Great continuation

Loved the bringing together of characters, time slip done so well, surprising story and satisfying ending. Looking forward to the next one.

Suspenseful

Love the author and the suspense. A definitely worthwhile read . Looking forward to more from this person
