It's 1910, and Daniel Pitt is a reluctant lawyer who would prefer to follow in the footsteps of his detective father. When the biographer Russell Graves, who Daniel is helping defend, is sentenced to execution for the murder of his wife, Daniel's Pitt-family investigative instincts kick in, and he sets out to find the real killer. With only 21 days before Graves is to be executed, Daniel learns that Graves is writing a biography of Victor Narraway, the former head of Special Branch and a close friend of the Pitts. And the stories don't shed a positive light. Is it possible someone is framing Graves to keep him from writing the biography-maybe even someone Daniel knows in Special Branch? The only answer, it seems, lies in the dead woman's corpse.

Narration ruined this book for me!
What would have made Trencarrow Secret better?
The narrator turned me off of this book. I only made it through the first 5 chapters. If you enjoy fingernails scraping on a blackboard, then ignore my opinion.
I may go back and listen to the story a little at a time, because it was starting to get interesting. I may end up reading the book myself. I will update when I decide.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. One of my favorite books.
What didn’t you like about Ruth Golding’s performance?
When the protaganist's voice sounds like a 6 year old brat, (Isabel Hart is supposed to be almost 21) it is impossible to like her. She was cloying and insipid and I couldn't take her anymore.
What character would you cut from Trencarrow Secret?
I don't know, I didn't get far enough into the book to know. The Narrator for sure!
Any additional comments?
I'm sorry to be so blunt on this one, but I really couldn't listen anymore.
