An Unsuitable Heir

Sins of the Cities, Book 3

De: KJ Charles

Narrado por: Matthew Lloyd Davies

A private detective finds passion, danger, and the love of a lifetime when he hunts down a lost earl in Victorian London.

On the trail of an aristocrat's secret son, enquiry agent Mark Braglewicz finds his quarry in a music hall, performing as a trapeze artist with his twin sister. Graceful, beautiful, elusive, and strong, Pen Starling is like nobody Mark's ever met - and everything he's ever wanted. But the long-haired acrobat has an earldom and a fortune to claim.

Pen doesn't want to live as any sort of man, least of all a nobleman. The thought of being wealthy, titled, and always in the public eye is horrifying. He likes his life now - his days on the trapeze, his nights with Mark. And he won't be pushed into taking a title that would destroy his soul.

But there's a killer stalking London's foggy streets, and more lives than just Pen's are at risk. Mark decides he must force the reluctant heir from music hall to manor house, to save Pen's neck. Betrayed by the one man he thought he could trust, Pen never wants to see his lover again. But when the killer comes after him, Pen must find a way to forgive - or he might not live long enough for Mark to make amends.

"I'll read anything KJ Charles writes!" ( New York Times best-selling author Kate Pearce)

"KJ Charles has long been one of my favorite authors." ( USA Today best-selling author Carole Mortimer)

love it

I liked the whole series, but this was probably my favorite. I loved the way a nonbinary character was presented. I loved the relationship between Penn and Greta. Justin is always a favorite and I'm glad he had a few parts.

Amazing and horrible that a reader had to label a review Ick and criticize Penn for being unrelatable and whiny. As information becomes more widely available, as people's (true) stories are shared, it's unforgivable to give a poor review for a work of fiction because one of the characters presents or acts differently than you. The open prejudice against trans and non-binary people is disgusting... and disappointing. Presumably someone who is reading this series isn't homophobic, but somehow feels its ok it have such a narrow view about gender and sensuality. I could go on and on. I edited to make this shorter. Getting off my soap box. I believe strongly that more books that push readers out of their comfort zone are needed, and I'm always happy to read one.

Suitably entertaining romantic mystery

There’s an earl’s contested heir and a pile of trouble to keep the heir missing. Because who wouldn’t want to be a fabulously wealthy earl? Sensitively written to explain who’s who & what everyone’s motivations are for finding or silencing the heir, it’s a fine tale of misfits trying to just be themselves. Which means they all have learned to view the world a little sideways, and thus are more interesting characters than in an average story about earls.

Somewhat unexpected (to me) this conclusion to the trilogy was neatly written to overlap the previous two books’ timelines without rehashing more than a moment or two. We see Clem, Roly, Lazarus & Nathaniel while Mark does his best to figure out what is going on. And falls in love.

Steam: Med-Low Some details on page but not a lot of dwell time. Mostly concerns how to be comfortable in a body that doesn’t fit in, in one way or another.

Narration: Same solid narration as previous installments. Emotional moments done empathetically, easy to follow along. Good quality.

Fitting Conclusion

I enjoyed listening to An Unsuitable Heir , Book 3 and the last in the Sin of the City series.

All the plotlines were nicely closed . Some of the resolutions were unexpected yet welcomed. It did fit with the narrative, the time period and the characters.
The reason why and the villain/villains of murders mystery were explained ; I was surprised by who/whom turned out to be.

Matthew Lloyd Davies narration was superb.

Very good read!

Such a good read. Very serious at some points, but also very funny at others. Very mysterious, thrilling type story and I loved it! I also loved Pen as a beautiful character 💘.

What a beautiful book and series.

This might be my favorite in this very lovely trilogy. Excellent narration on all three, and really enjoyable characters.
