A Name Unknown

Shadows Over England, Book 1

De: Roseanna M. White

Narrado por: Liz Pearce

Edwardian romance and history gains a twist of suspense.

Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former urchins that helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London. Grown now, they concentrate on stealing high-value items and have learned how to blend into upper-class society. But when Rosemary must determine whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany, she is in for the challenge of a lifetime. How does one steal a family's history, their very name?

Peter Holstein, given his family's German blood, writes his popular series of adventure novels under a pen name. With European politics boiling and his own neighbors suspicious of him, Peter debates whether it might be best to change his name for good. When Rosemary shows up at his door pretending to be a historian and offering to help him trace his family history, his question might be answered.

But as the two work together and Rosemary sees his gracious reaction to his neighbors' scornful attacks, she wonders if her assignment is going down the wrong path. Is it too late to help him prove that he's more than his name?

Liz Pearce, one of the best

Great! Cannot wait for the next. Story was so mu h fun, narrator amazing! Worthwhile

Loved this book!

I never write up reviews, but I have so enjoyed the 2 books that Roseanne White has written in this series. I hope she writes 12 more to include all the “family”! Delightful and wonderful narrator!

Wow!

Wow! This is so great! So well written with history, romance, intrigue! And Liz Pearce has got to be my favorite narrator now!
I loved how the author shows a main character with a speech impediment being so wonderful, amazing, a man of integrity and honor. I also thought the narrator did a an excellent job with the stuttering. And one of my favorite aspects of this story was how we got to see inside the mind of a writer : )

Absolutely loved it.

This was a very good story and the narration was also excellent. Only one small complaint and that is minor: the description of “his nostrils flared” was used so much, that I started a count of at least 8 times throughout the book! Wow. Lots of nasal issues!!!

Excellent tale

I love how the author weaves redemption through Christ into her novels. I also love this narrator and search for her readings.

Great Story

So enjoy Roseanna stories about experiences of real life and intertwining them to coming out with a new light within. Thank you

Pretty Good

It’s fun and lighthearted with wonderful and charming characters. The narrator did an excellent job.

Amazing Book and Narrator

This book was so good! I like how the romance is secondary to the plot in the beginning and then it starts to get bigger. The narrator is great; different accents, timely infections, good flow. I can't wait to read the other books in this series.

White Wins in my Audio World

This story is a story within a story! It's "positively delightful" how White wraps up a London Librarian in disguise to spy on a man who, presents as a German loyalist, actually is a true live it Christian. Intrigue, hilarious scene after hilarious scene..kept me up all night, fighting to keep from "snorting in laughter as no lady would do"..This Book is honestly worth 3 credits- 1 for ea story in it, 1 for ea hilarious scene where ms. librarian boxes the ears of men in scenes who def deserve it, 1 for the "Said Dangerous, Bad Guy Bloke" who actually admires said librarian whose working for him..or so he thinks. A bonus credit for all the hilarious scenes..Bravo! Excellently written, Excellently narrated! My #2 favorite of 5yrs of Audible.

Loved it!

It took a little while to get into but once I did I didn't want to stop reading. The narrator is very good. One of my favorites!
