Even at 20+ hours it’s still not enough! ❤️

I was so enthralled that I listened to this at every opportunity, needing to know how it turned out. Now that it’s done I almost want to start over! You can feel the desperation, the greed, and the love. The narrators are exceptionally good. Absolutely wonderful escape. Clever twists and turns that never feel forced, just exciting and rewarding. I’m making my way through all of Wilkie Collins’ works and I’m glad he was such a prolific writer!!
