Curse of the Poppy

Penny Green Series, Book 5

By: Emily Organ

Narrated by: Gabrielle Baker

A woman dies in a burglary in Fitzrovia. A man is murdered in an opium den in Limehouse. Gutsy Fleet Street reporter Penny Green suspects the two deaths are connected, but how can she prove it?

The answer may lie in Whitehall where the India Office reaps the benefits of Britain's opium trade. But when Inspector James Blakely of Scotland Yard begins investigating, an unforeseen danger looms.

Soon Penny is forced to act alone and is put to the ultimate test when her quest becomes personal.

Wow

Did not see that coming! As the author illustrated in this story, the same crimes happened in earlier times as do today. Fortunately justice was found in this but a lot get away with it

Awaiting anxiously what will happen next between Penny and James. Glad Francis finally took charge

Opium trade saga

Solid story telling of murder, drugs use and corruption. Mix in a love triangle and you can't go wrong. These stories are fast pace and have a great narrator

Just Wonderful

Absolutely love this story! The narrator is fantastic. The writing is superb. I can’t wait to see what happens next! I love the characters so much!!!

a Terrifying Tale of Tragedy

My daughter and I lov





ed it. We were unable to stop listening to the tale of such problems that sadly still currently affect our population .What a tale of drugs, death and police corruption. But , Penny manages to bring it all together in one solution.

Very entertaining!

This plot had many unexpected twists and turns, maintaining my attention throughout. I enjoyed it!

Good mystery

I like Penny Green. She is a complicated sleuth who is on the trail of the murderers.

Penny has gotten annoying

I was loving this series until now. But Penny has gotten downright annoying. She doesn’t know when to quit, and when to let people be. She was a likable, intelligent woman, but now I’m starting to hate her because she’s intrusive, relentless, and doesn’t know when to leave people alone. Her incessant harassment of some people is not “cute” and doesn’t make her seem intelligent anymore. It’s completely pissing me off! I want to yell at her to get a grip on herself and her ridiculous emotions.

The ending!!

I’ve been waiting for this!!! Good for him! Sometimes I just don’t know what Penny is thinking!
