Love this series!!

I have loved all of these books! I wasn't crazy about the narrator at first but now I can't here the Characters in anybody else's voice... Porter has made them hers. My only complaint is the increasing sense of panic that rises with each completed book... I'm not ready for them to end! ......

.......(don't think this qualifies as a spoiler but don't read ahead if you don't want to risk it ;) ...



I have never like Kat... so I am very happy with the way this book ended! Hero is a much better match for him!

murder mystery, romance, and political intrigue

I love this series. the characters are memorable. The narrator makes it come alive. it is a bit addictive

Excellent again

I've enjoyed every book of this series and can't stop listening to them. Looking forward to the next one.

Mystery with a little romance

I love this series. It combines great plot lines and mysteries that keep you guessing with some wonderful characters that I have grown quite attached to. Sebastian St. Cyr, the lead man, not only solves murder mysteries, but has many of his own mysteries to untangle in his own life. The characters have taken on a life of their own and I can't wait for the next installment in the series. The narrator has a wonderful English accent that blends well with the storyline and characters as well. Highly recommend - but try to read the first books in the series prior to this one.

What a book

This is one of the best books in this series. I truly look forward to much more from this WONDERFUL author.

Excellent Story & Narrator

Another winner in the series. Hero is amazing - that scene in the cottage with the kidnappers was startling. I think it is the first historical I’ve read where the “lady” rescues herself with the same skill given to males. And Davina Porter is terrific.

Very good historical mystery series

I listened to the first book and enjoyed it very much. Though I was disappointed that the next five books in the series were not available in Audible. I have completed bk six and find it very good indeed! The narrator, Davinda Porter is truly first rate. I have already downloaded bk seven and I am hoping Audible will be offering the missing books in the series soon.

Great story with small anachronism

I've been hooked on this series since the beginning and have enjoyed every title thus far. The plots are clever and I rarely guess where it is heading. I have found the unlikely romance unexpectedly compelling. I find the refreshers in which key character traits and plot points from previous books are explained to be a bit jarring sometimes - I wish the author could slide them in a bit more smoothly. One pedantic comment: the use of the phrase "cut to the chase" is anachronistic. The term was coined during the silent film era. The narration in this volume wasn't as good as in previous volumes - there was less distinction between the characters and sometimes it wasn't clear who was speaking.

Pleasant Surprise

Any additional comments?

This was the first of these I read/listened to. I immediately bought the next two in the series. I love historical fiction - when it's good. But there is A LOT of it out there, and, well - I send more back than I keep on with. So I was rather leery of this, afraid it might be Georgette Heyer meets Midsommer Murders. Not so. First, the feel and depiction of London in the early 19th century is very, very good. Akin to David Liss or the Sharpe novels, which this reminded me of, even if it isn't actually about the Peninsula Campaign. It's a fascinating time politically and socially, and the author catches it really well. The main character somehow - not quite sure how, but mercifully - manages to avoid being a cliche. As do most of the rest. These books are intelligent, and compelling. There's a bit more Romantic Bodice Ripper overtone than I care for, but that's personal taste, and it's not overdone. The plots are solid, the setting convincing and the characters compelling. Good narration, too.

Yet another excelle performance by Davina Porter!

Captivating story! Well written and flawlessly performed! Anyone can read a book, but it takes a master performer to act it out in voices and accents!!
