Copper Script

De: KJ Charles

Narrado por: Cornell Collins

Detective Sergeant Aaron Fowler of the Metropolitan Police doesn’t count himself a gullible man. When he encounters a graphologist who deduces people’s lives and personalities from their handwriting with impossible accuracy, he needs to find out how the trick is done. Even if that involves spending more time with the intriguing, flirtatious Joel Wildsmith than feels quite safe.

Joel’s not an admirer of the police, but DS Fowler has the most irresistible handwriting he’s ever seen. If the policeman’s tests let him spend time unnerving the handsome copper, why not play along?

But when Joel looks at a powerful man's handwriting and sees a murderer, the policeman and the graphologist are plunged into deadly danger. Their enemy will protect himself at any cost, unless the sparring pair can come together to prove his guilt and save each other.

Wonderful as always

Another great work from K.J. Charles. Romance, struggle, mystery, and a satisfying resolution. I liked both main characters here, they are interesting and deeply sympathetic men. And I liked how their relationship was developing. The detective plot was also good, and I enjoyed the ending. Overall, no notes, looking forward to the new stories from the author.

I love all Charles’ work, and Collins is THEEEE best narrator

I actually read this on ebook before it came out on audiobook, then listened to it when I saw Cornell Collins was narrating, because he’s the best. This story is just kind of a bummer, though, because it feels like it’s setting up a much longer and involved mystery and world that gets truncated and solved and wrapped up all too quickly. Idk if Charles is tired of her own tricks (I am not, for what it’s worth), but this felt like the first half of a book instead of a full novel. Wanted so much more.

A quite charming, very English romance

Though I’m an avid fan of several English classic romances, not many contemporary English period M/M romances have charmed me enough to want to read them again. However, this new story by the prolific KJ Charles, perfectly narrated by Cornell Collins, has turned out to be my perfect cup of high tea (see what I did there), and is the latest on my list of eminently re-readable stories in this genre.
This take on the opposites-attract trope is very well written and entertaining. In spite of their quirky and inauspicious beginning, the two MCs unexpectedly become a very charming pair, especially as they get to understand each other better. The resolution, though a bit neat, is yet thoroughly satisfying; which is an unusual feat, though obviously not for this writer.
I’ve already added her newest and upcoming titles to my wishlist.

Always a delight

I really enjoyed this novel. Any KJC book with a cop protagonist always ends up in my faves. I just appreciate the drama and dilemma of it. Wonderful narration, great chemistry, fun plot.

KJ Charles does it again!

Another lovely historical M/M romance, with a body count! Both main characters feel like real people with their strengths and their flaws. I love how these two balance each other out so well. ❤️💕❤️💕❤️
