A Perception of Sin

By: Juliet Cromwell

Narrated by: Cathy Conneff

A Perception of Sin is a dark tale of forbidden sex, loneliness, and love. The story begins in modern-day London with a suicide bomb attack aboard an underground train. During the subsequent forensic investigation DNA taken from one of the adult victims is flagged up as a match to a Cold Case blood sample, dating back 25 years. The case is re-opened with chilling consequences.

Sin is what binds the characters and events together, as the story traverses the horrors of Bergen-Belsen, suicide and violent death alongside love, loyalty, and compassion, though it is never stated, assessed or judged.

That is left entirely to the listener to decide.

Heartbreaking

It was dark and sad, but a good book. Took a little concentration to keep all the characters straight. I did enjoy how they all intertwined.

Intense

I found this in the Romance Package. It isn't a romance. and I almost didn't listen because the summary listed a bombing in the London Underground and I like to escape in books. Bombings in the underground are not escapes for me. But . . something in the summary tweaked my curiosity and I gave it a listen. I think I needed to know how a London bombing, DNA remains, Bergen-Belsen and a cold case were all linked. They were. In a long twisting tale of two families. I listened on a long drive and it was perfect for that. I'm not going to lie. I cried. More than once. Hiccuping sobs. The passage comparing lost love to a skipping stone made my heart hurt. The characters were all very alive to me. I cared about them despite their flaws and failures. This isn't a laugh out loud, everyone is good and makes the right decisions and they all live happily ever after story. But it was good. really really good. The narrator was fabulous! I will look for more by the author and narrator.

Too Long to get to the point

If you are looking for an LGBT+ story, go somewhere else. It’s not worth it. There are a few decent little tales in here that I would give 5 stars and parts that are zero but it takes way too long to get the the point. I had to skip through to get over the mind numbing words to get to that point. If it’s still free, why not listen.
