Precious Bones

By: Irina Shapiro

Narrated by: Verity Burns

When the skeletal remains of a young woman and her baby are found entombed behind the kitchen wall of a historic Tudor house, Cassandra is overcome with grief. She seems to know who the young woman was, but not how she knows, or how she came to be there. Cassandra becomes inexplicably drawn to the house and the mystery of the bones of Blackfriars. As she begins to learn the truth about the Thorne siblings who occupied the house during the reign of Elizabeth I, her own life takes an unexpected turn, and she finds out that her fate is linked to the Thornes in ways she never imagined.

Tudors+Reincarnation = winner! Narrator is awesome

The story ARC is brilliantly done. A different story than I’ve read before. I love Tudor times. Then add in reincarnation and you have a winner.
Not saying more as no spoilers. I highly recommend this audiobook to everyone.
The narrator is awesome. Her voice is perfect for the story.

interesting turn of events

it was interesting, story of old and new. It's a beautiful love story of tragedy.

Good Story, Not-so-Good Narrator

This was a tragic story and a bit predictable, but it ended well enough. I love historic, atmospheric stories, and this delivered. The narrator was OK, but she read through the book rather quickly and with little-to-no expression or emotion. This would have been better if I read it on my Kindle instead.

Good story

I still don’t understand the body in the wall. Narration was a bit monotoned.. I enjoyed the story, but the bones in the wall were not what I expected.

Great Historical Fiction

Precious Bones was a fascinating read. I loved the different timelines and the overall idea of the story. I enjoyed some characters more than others, but overall, they were written well. I loved the time period that the "current day" ran along side. It is a time period I have always wanted to learn more about but have not yet. I think for fans of this time period, the story would be even more enjoyable. Just an overall, fascinating and enjoying read. I did find a few bits a little slower than others. The beginning was the hardest part for me to get through but important for the overall story.

Verity Burns did a great job with the voices. I wish there had been more emotion in her voice acting as some places I could have used a little more to keep me going.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request, and I have voluntarily left this review.
