Bright Young Dead

A Mitford Murders Mystery, Book 2

De: Jessica Fellowes

Narrado por: Rachel Atkins

Set amid the legendary Mitford household, Bright Young Dead is the second audiobook in the thrilling, Golden Age-style Mitford Murders series by Jessica Fellowes, author of the New York Times best-selling Downton Abbey books.

Meet the Bright Young Things, the rabble-rousing hedonists of the 1920s whose treasure hunts were a media obsession. One such game takes place at the 18th birthday party of Pamela Mitford, but ends in tragedy as cruel, charismatic Adrian Curtis is pushed to his death from the church neighboring the Mitford home.

The police quickly identify the killer as a maid, Dulcie. But Louisa Cannon, chaperone to the Mitford girls and a former criminal herself, believes Dulcie to be innocent and sets out to clear the girl's name...all while the real killer may only be steps away.

Narrator

All the books are fantastic but my only complaint in all 4 is the narrator’s screaming, while doing other characters voices, especially Nancy!! It’s very disconcerting as the book’s voices of other characters, especially Louisa, are so low.. Quiet unsettling whole constantly adjusting volumes.. PLEASE tone it down if doing other books!!!

Great fun.

This narrator is excellent, the story was engaging, and at a certain point I thought I had it figured but I was wrong. This series is one where you find yourself sitting in your car or driving around the block again just to get to the end of a chapter. At the price of gas, that means it is really good!

Great listening!

Keep them coming! Looking forward to the new release. These stories are interesting and exciting. I would rate them PG.

2nd book even better than the first!

The well thought out plot kept my interest all the way through.
I love all the well imagined characters, both based on real people, as well as the fictional protagonists.
And Rachel Atkins versatile narration really brings all the characters to life!
I couldn't wait each day to start listening and want to read more about the Mitfords and my favorite sleuths!

Great character development

Louisa’s character is developed in a very nuanced way. Great book!
Can’t wait for the next one!

Not as good as the first book

Too many scenes were almost word for word from Downton Abby. Also many inconsistencies, drive me crazy! Story wasn’t as good as the first book.

Not in the same league as book 1

I couldn’t WAIT for this book to be over!!! It was SO painful to finish. I love love loved the first book and was excited it was a small series. I disliked this book SO much that I might even read the rest of the books in this collection. It was SO outlandish and SO out of character for Louise that it was hard to enjoy. Not to mention the story was uninteresting. I’m so disappointed bc I was extremely excited about this series. Narrator was amazing as always though- 10 out of 10 performance!
