But she still has one last thing to do—to fulfill a promise made in the 1970s, when she and her girlfriends were carefree, with their whole lives still before them.

The inimitable Lord Harrington
Jaunty jolly and full of opinions but fun if you’ve been enjoying the series. The narrator has a consistently stilted style and a little trouble with the wife’s voice but all in all a mystery very much in the ‘cozy’ style.

Sad and waiting for more
Waiting patiently and anxiously for the next one. I listen to these in the car and have sat in my driveway waiting for a chapter to end.

A bit slow.
I’ve enjoyed all of the Lord Harrington books so far. This one however was a bit too slow for me. The build up was slow and It took a long time for the multiple threads to come together. I typically finish her book in a day, but this one it took several weeks to get back too it after putting it down after a couple hours. When I got back to it, I Finally skipped to the end which I rarely do.
