Lord Harrington

Terrific story- family friendly and
David Thorpe did an excellent job reading.
I can wait for the next book

Good Fun

The story was set in 1957 which was fun and exasperating at the same time as women had their place in the home. The details and feel for the time period were great and the narrator was superb! He is a master of voices. I enjoyed it and will probably try another book from this series

A Fun Read

I liked this book better than some of the other reviewers did. I found the characters engaging and the plot complex enough to hold my interest.

I think the reader complaints about food and music are overblown. The author is perhaps a little inelegant about them, mentioning the menu at a meal or the song playing as an apparent attempt to pin the story in a particular time period and perhaps to add texture. I have the sense that an editor sent the first draft back and said, "Add some details about the environment." It could be woven in much more smoothly, but it's brief mentions, not labored explanations of the meal.

The narrator is wonderful, and I thought it was a fun read and will be interested to read others in the series.
