The Lost

Echoes from the Past, Book 9

De: Irina Shapiro

Narrado por: Wendy Wolfson

Some betrayals cut deeper than a blade.

New York, 1777. Jocelyn Sinclair’s life depends on deception. By day, she’s a humble servant in British Major Hector Radcliffe’s household, invisible and overlooked. By night, she risks everything as a spy for the Continental Army, gathering intelligence that could turn the tide of war. When she meets the enigmatic Captain Jared Denning, their forbidden attraction threatens to expose her carefully constructed lies. But Jocelyn discovers too late that the greatest danger doesn’t come from enemy soldiers but from someone she trusted with her life…

Present day. When skeletal remains are discovered beneath an ancient oak tree at her friend’s manor house, archaeologist Quinn Allenby is brought in to help solve the mystery. But the moment she touches a tarnished silver ring buried with the bones, she experiences Jocelyn’s world of espionage and betrayal, and witnesses a tragic fate she is helpless to prevent.

Separated by centuries, both women face impossible choices between duty and desire, safety and truth. But some secrets demand to be heard, no matter the cost…

A gripping story of courage, betrayal, and the dangerous price of justice. Perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, and Barbara Erskine.

love overcomes hate

what I enjoyed was how in both quins life and the historical lives live over came gate and the enemies got what was coming to them. but I need more of Quin. what happens to Brett what other things did he do and did the police find out.

Thank you! Irina Shapiro! Awesome Job Wendy Wolfson!

Irina Shapiro is on a whole new level of storytelling! Thank you for giving us that needed happy ending! “The Lost” is an excellent story featuring past favorites and a few new characters. If you haven’t read any of Irina Shapiro books before....it’s always best to start from the beginning with the 1st in her echoes of the past series “The Lovers” there are 9 books in all but each could be stand alones. However, if you like the first your going to love them each in order. The Narration by Wendy Wolfson is excellent and you’re going to feel like your watching a movie —well at lest I did.....as always a big fat 5 star...and a request for book 10 in this series.

more echoes please!!! I miss Quinn and her family! a series to immerse yourself in

What a Fantastic Series!

If you like historical fiction and forensic pathology with a psychic twist, Irina Shapiro’s series is for you. She creates believable, complex protagonists motivated by personal happiness and despicable antagonists, and including 2-3 plot lines is well organized within different chapters. I’ve learned more history by listening to this series, and I hope the imaginary BBC series actually becomes one. Brava, Irina Shapiro!

Wow! This is my favorite Shapiro series!

Throughout this series I have grown to love Quinn and her gift/curse. To have the ability to see the life of one long passed is enchanting until the seer has to witness dreadful, horrid events that happen to the long dead victim. The dual timelines work in all of these books and I love character development. Quinn, Gabe, Jo, Sylvia, Reece, Seth, Brett, etc are all 3 dimensional characters that add depth to the stories. I can’t help wanting more editions from the author, especially since I know a new era of psychics have been born! As always, the narrator is AMAZING!

Twists and turns

Enjoyed this book as I have all Irina Shapiro’s books.
The story keeps you engaged and intrigued. The narrator is great but I do wish she would give the characters in different books slightly different inflection in their voices. Detectives all have the same nasally voice. I do recommend this and all the books in the series.

Wonderful listening experience, as usual!

Irina Shapiro's Echoes series have been of consistently high quality since book one and the latest one is no exception. She manages to find a balance between telling the story of the past and the present without giving a feeling of interrupting the storyline.

The only thing that I found a bit tedious was the frequent depictions of Quinn's children and the tedium of her and Gabe's family life in general, as their budding romance in the initial books was much more interesting.

Overall, plenty of suspense & drama, nicely tied up in the end, while leaving a possibility for a continuation of the series.

Great Conclusion to the series (although I hope there is more)

Excellent conclusion to am amazing series! As always dual story lines which keeps me interested and feels like two books in one. Everything is nicely wrapped up with HEA all around, at least for those that deserve it and as always, Wendy was amazing with the narration

Loved this series!!

***Update since first review*** I am so happy! I thought we were kind of left hanging with what happened to the main and supporting characters in this series and hoped maybe there would be more books. I was delighted to find that there is a collaboration between Quinn and Nicole Rayburn in the Nicole Rayburn Historical Mysteries Series. Some of the things I was left wondering are being answered. Definitely check out this newest series too 😁

I really loved this series! The last book was not my favorite and I felt like I would have liked some information on what happened to some of the supporting characters. Overall, I think it was great. Her writing is great and she makes you really love the lovable characters and despise the bad ones. This is not my favorite series by Irina Shapiro, I enjoy the time travel ones more but this one was definitely enjoyable.

Wonderful!

This is definitely one of my favorites from the series. I love the twist and turns that the book takes. I’m always happy yet sad when these books end. Loved the book!
