Penny for Your Secrets

Verity Kent Series, Book 3

De: Anna Lee Huber

Narrado por: Heather Wilds

England, 1919. In Anna Lee Huber's latest mystery, former Secret Service agent Verity Kent is finding that life after wartime offers its own share of danger....

The Great War may be over, but for many, there are still obstacles on the home front. Reconciling with her estranged husband makes Verity sympathetic to her friend Ada's marital difficulties. Bourgeois-bred Ada, recently married to the Marquess of Rockham, is overwhelmed trying to navigate the ways of the aristocracy. And when Lord Rockham is discovered shot through the heart with a bullet from Ada's revolver, Verity fears her friend has made a fatal blunder.

While striving to prove Ada's innocence, Verity is called upon for another favor. The sister of a former Secret Service colleague has been killed in what authorities believe was a home invasion gone wrong. The victim's war work - censoring letters sent by soldiers from the front - exposed her to sensitive, disturbing material. Verity begins to suspect these two unlikely cases may be linked. But as the connections deepen, the consequences- not just for Verity, but for Britain - grow more menacing than she could have imagined.

Love this series!

Great books with the right amount of mystery and romance set in the 20’s. And it’s not a ‘Hallmark’ type story - which I appreciate.

PLEASE

do something about Heather Wilds. I'm sure she's lovely but her narration is so grating!

Intriguing story!

I have listened to all of thsi series at leadt twice. The narrator is not the best and takes getting used to, but I love the characters and plots.

Good story

I don’t usually write reviews but I find it necessary to do so in this case. I feel I’ve found another author I can follow and be happy to collect. But the narrator needs help! Her rhythm is horrible. She seems to put a period after every third word or so. It interrupts the meaning of the sentences and I’m constantly rethinking what she’s just read to understand it’s meaning. Please get some lessons or hire someone else!

Great

I love the characters. The depth of feeling that the characters have. The mystery is very well done.
