Isobel Starling
A brand new historical m/m novella from award-winning author Isobel Starling.
Monday, December 20, 1897. Mr. Benedict Hannan, the owner of Hannan’s Auction House in Fitzrovia, receives a letter inviting him to attend the sale of a private collection of fine art and antiquities belonging to the late Lord Percival Ardmillan. Ardmillan is known to Benedict, or rather, his son Euan is, and so, Benedict hurriedly travels to the West Highlands to fulfill his dream of owning a particular item from the Lord’s collection - something that he has coveted for 30 years.
In Scotland, Benedict meets the collectors who were invited to bid in the auction. He discovers that the auction of the private collection is not as straightforward as he had imagined. Forced to come to terms with his past and present desires, Benedict finds himself in the thrall of a mysterious traveler, and in turn, he gets more than he bargained for this Christmas!

Delicious novella

Delightfully entertaining, The Shooting Season sets up the characters for what I expect will be an entertaining series, this is a story of intrigue and deception, the descriptions are vivid and the characters easily coming to life off the page.
Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes
Narrator comment: Gary Furlong is a perfect choice for proper English gentleman - both reputable and scoundrel. I had no problem distinguishing characters and the rhythm, inflections and intonations all worked to make the book come alive.

We met several interesting characters in this book and I suspect that at least a couple of them will feature prominently in the rest of the series if this is anything like Isobel's other series. This seems to be the introduction to the Resurrectionist series and it does end on a bit of a cliffhanger. Lucky for me I have book 2 coming up soon!
A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.
I'm ready for book two!

Set up to initiate him into the ways of the world is humble American traveller John Edwards, or is it art collector Artur Engels, or master thief Sebastian Cavell? Well, whatever alias he’s using at the moment, I love the chemistry between him and Benedict and I can’t wait to see what Isobel Starling is going to do with these two gents!
Regardless of his pompous piety, do not let Benedict’s buffoonery put you off. Ms. Starling has plans for him and The Resurrectionist series continues in episode two, The Gentleman’s Thief. I’m diving straight into the audio version of this one, and here’s hoping there will be many more episodes to come.
I know it can't possibly be true, but I can't help but wonder if Isobel Starling writes her novels to be read by the spectacular voice actor, Gary Furlong. Knowing his amazing strengths, she capitalizes on Mr. Furlong's unparalleled skills with accents and makes the most of his many other talents. A bonus to this clever, creative mystery, listening to Mr. Furlong's narration is always an immense pleasure.
Tempting Start to the Series Furlong is Fantastic!

I'm intrigued by Mr. Sebastian Cavell. I found it so sad that Benedict hid himself for so many years but glad that he met Sebastian. Ewan was a piece of work. He deserved what he got.
Can't wait for the sequel. Highly recommended.
Gentlemanly Romance

The Shooting Season was quite a bit different than the Shatterproof Bond series in a way. This was a historical set back when if you were caught in a gay relationship you were imprisoned or killed. It is set in Oscar Wilde’s time and he was cited as an example. Benedict is on his way to a huge private invitation-only auction where he hopes to acquire a special artifact not for his Auction House but for himself. It is a staff rumored to cure any ailment and he hopes to cast away his evil, Impure thoughts. The problem is it is taking him straight into the lion’s den to the home of his first lover Euan Ardmillan, The new owner of the estate.
This is a very short book and it drags you in with its telling and keeps you there with each page turn. Once the twists begin, they get tighter and tighter and more and more. There is a lot in this short of a book.
The narration by Gary Furlong is perfect. His voice for Benedict gives the story the perfect accent for this setting, and also the perfect eerie feeling.
If you love historical MM stories, mystery/suspense, lots of twists, and a short story to fill some time this is for you. I highly recommend the audio since the narration gives it a perfect boost just reading will miss.
A great Mystery Suspense
