Twelfth Night

By: Deanna Raybourn

Narrated by: Ellen Archer

New York Times best-selling author Deanna Raybourn returns with a brand-new novella, starring her beloved heroine, the intrepid Lady Julia Grey.

To mark the passing of another decade, the esteemed - and eccentric - March family have assembled at Bellmont Abbey to perform the Twelfth Night Revels for their sleepy English village. But before Lady Julia and her handsome, sleuthing husband, Nicolas Brisbane, can take to the stage, a ruckus in the stable yard demands their attention. An abandoned infant is found nestled in the steel helm of St. George. What's more, their only lead is the local legend of a haunted cottage and its ghastly inhabitant - who seems to have returned. Once again, Lady Julia and Nicholas take up the challenge to investigate, and when the source of the mystery is revealed, they'll be faced with an impossible choice - one that will alter the course of their lives... forever. Don't miss a single tale in the Lady Julia Grey series - or Deanna Raybourn's latest novel, City of Jasmine.

Continued Holiday Merriment

Lady Julia and Nicholas are still at the Abbey for the March holiday revels, where he gets drafted to play St George as the newest member of the family.
An abandoned baby and local haunting bring old and new family into their lives.
I really enjoy these novellas in this series.
Archer does a decent job of narration.

Timeless..

This series will warm your heart. Big, bold characters c and a great family make you feel at home at March House.
Then there is little Jack....

Short but good

Way too short but packed with interesting developments.

This should have been combined with the previous novella. Both are too short to command separate prices. That being said, I enjoyed this a great deal. I liked the inclusion of the niece and nephew. A person from the past makes an appearance. And Brisbane plays St George!

I love listening to this narrator. Great job!

Too short

Enjoyed Lady Julia and family as always. Story way too short. Perhaps the 3 novellas should have been combined to make one complete book.

A good Novella, Horrible narration.

As usual, The March family Twelth Night celebration is chaos personified.
A possible witch sighting, family and staff antics, and a play to perform.

What could possibly go wrong?

I have listened to the entire series this weekend.
The narration was OK.
ELLEN ARCHER'S --- Portia's Voice was excessively high pitched, irritating, annoying, grating, demeaning to give any audible character such a voice, and distracting from a good storyline!!!

ELLEN ARCHER RUINED Listening to the storyline since book One, EVERYTIME Portia screeched in all the books.

One voice done so horribly can ruin listening to an entire series. Hence, I rate narration 1-2 stars ---for ruining a great character with such an awful voice. 😖 😱 😨

For this reason I would say read the books instead.

The rest of the voices are done well, but with some odd pronunciations of words.

I enjoyed this series and it too bad there are no more books to this series.
One more novella and then nothing.

Thank goodness, she started the Veronica Speedwell Series which is an utter delight.

Sum up: liked storyline for all books
HATED THE AWFUL NARRATION OF PORTIA'S VOICE!!! 😖 BY ELLEN ARCHER. utterly distracting.
