Reseñas de la Crítica

"Vividly recreates the gaslit world of old New York..." ( Publishers Weekly).

Another terrific story!

Enjoyed the psychological aspect. Others have complained about this author, and though I enjoyed the first narrator in a variety of books, I find that when there is a narrator change in a series that if I listen to a palette cleanser, I can get into the story without issue. This narrator actually takes on a variety of accents much better than the previous narrator. Look forward to the next book!

Awesome.

Much better performance and a great wrap up to Sarah's husband's murder. Very well done.

good character development

Well researched and description of mental illness. also I enjoy. the history of the times explaining the Pinkertons

Great content, didn't really enjoy the narrator

I've really enjoyed this series of books, but I liked the previous narrator better. But, maybe she will grow in me. I intend to continue listening through audible because these books are so well written.

Great Storyline and Much Better Narration

I read one review that indicated he/she would not have continued listening if Ms. Suzanne Torren (sp?) was the narrator from the beginning; however, I so wholeheartedly disagree—Callie B. is indeed a very good narrator as I’ve sought out her narrations because of her talent. But, her cadence was much, much too harsh for every character in this series, especially for Sarah Brandt’s voice, a very caring, sweet and nurturing soul. Suzanne T. got every character’s nuanced personality absolutely correct except perhaps for Frank Malloy, wherein I know it’s very difficult for a very feminine voiced narrator to mimic a strong, very masculine male voice without making him sound angry all the time. I thought the plot twists were expertly designed, the ending well orchestrated, and the narration excellent. Bravo for Sarah and Frank!!!
