City of Time and Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from three treasures that sing to her; a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but the wrong one could take her on a mission other than that which she must address first, and the stakes could not be higher. Xanthe must follow the treasure that will take her to him if he is not to be lost forever.

Vikings and reincarnation
- By Bronwynn Victoria on 04-01-20
Publisher's Summary
The third installment of a bewitching series "brimming with charm and charisma" that will make "fans of Outlander rejoice!" (Woman's World Magazine).
New York Times best-selling author Paula Brackston's second novel in the Found Things series, Secrets of the Chocolate House, was called a "time-swapping romance [that] will please fans of Alice Hoffman" (Publishers Weekly). Now, Brackston returns to the Found Things series with a third audiobook, The Garden of Promises and Lies.
As the bustle of the winter holidays in the Little Shop of Found Things gives way to spring, Xanthe is left to reflect on the strange events of the past year. While she's tried to keep her time-traveling talents a secret from those close to her, she is forced to take responsibility for having inadvertently transported the dangerous Benedict Fairfax to her own time. Xanthe comes to see that she must use her skills as a spinner if she and Flora are ever to be safe and turns to the Spinners book for help.
It is then that a beautiful antique wedding dress sings to her. Realizing the dress and her adversary are connected in some way, she answers the call. She finds herself in Bradford-on-Avon in 1815, as if she has stepped into a Jane Austen story.
Now in Xanthe's time, Fairfax is threatening Xanthe into helping him with his evil doings and demonstrates all too clearly how much damage he is capable of causing. With Fairfax growing ever more powerful, Xanthe enlists the help of her boyfriend, Liam, taking him back in time with her. It is a decision that might just ensure she prevails over her foe, but only by putting her life - and his - on the line.

The Garden of Promised and Lies, fantastic!
I’ve read all of the books in this series and book 3 doesn’t disappoint. The main character remains true to her personality. In this nook she has gained more confidence and is willing to risk trying new ways to spin through time. Her love interest gets more serious although she does put her new love in peril. I loved everything about this book. The ending opens the possibility of another faction of time travelers and there is no doubt another book follows The Garden of Promises and Lies.

Fantastic!
This is the best series I have heard, ever. While intricate and highly detailed, Ms Brackston did not lose me once. I listened to all three books in this series back to back. Regency dialogue was a bit rough, but the story was so good, and the narrator so superb, it was probably part of the story. A must listen!

Wonderful series!
I’ll not give any spoilers because this book deserves to be enjoyed as it unfolds as the author intended.
I love the series—- but this is by far my favorite of the trio. My only complaint is I have to wait 6 months before the next one is released.
Love Love Love it!

What happened to the narrator?!
I loved the other books and couldn't wait for this one but the narration is awful! I only managed to get through half of the first chapter.
She speeds up and slows down all within the same sentence and I just couldn't listen to it any more.
It's a shame because the lady has a lovely voice but I think I'll buy the book and read it myself.

Couldn't wait to download this book, as l thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in the series. HOWEVER, BUYER BEWARE ! THE NARRATION IS HORRENDOUS. Whatever possessed Audio Books to hire Marisa Calin to narrate this wonderful author's work ??? I only managed 10 mins of the whole book before l had to abandon it for good. I gave the book 5 out of 5 stars, as l'm sure l would have loved the story if they had hired a decent narrator.

Painful
I loved the other books and couldn’t wait for this one. However the first half of the book just recapped the last two books. Not enough story in this one, just got going at that was the end. Very disappointed.

The Garden of Promises and Lies
The 3rd edition to this wonderfully written novel. I was hooked on the first book then the 2nd. An absolute joy to read. Highly recommend. Includes antiques time travel and also a period setting as well as modern day.
Love it

Skilful time travel story
This series is a good concept, with the human and love aspect retaining the reader’s attention.

Gripping!
This is the third in a series of ‘found things’ stories. I have thoroughly enjoyed all three books and this was no exception, I just kept wanting to listen. My only complaint with all three stories is the narrator who style of narration is a bit annoying. If you can get over this, they are well worth a listen. These books intertwine modern day mixed with historical time travel. I loved these books

Paula did it again
November 2021 is the follow up book, how am I going to wait so long.
Once again a fabulous adventure full or twist and turn. You never really what is coming and you want to know where you are going.
I found myself holding my breath many times, laughing and crying.

Disappointing story
Faitfax was the arch nemesis in this story and a dangerous villain but the heroine was ill prepared to compete with him and her success was pure luck. There was a nice story of friendship but the rest was very disappointing and unimaginative and then a final paragraph cliffhanger suggesting another book.
