I’ve read several books about the Magdalene laundries and immediately requested Wayward Girls by Susan Wiggs. She did not disappoint. Set in 1960s Buffalo, N.Y. Wiggs transports us into the lives of six teens who find themselves at the Good Shepherd, run by the Sisters of Charity nuns. Narrated by Jane Oppenheimer & Cynthia Farrell, it’s a story of survival, friendship, and redemption.
The Lost Girl of Astor Street & The Secret Investigator of Astor Street by Stephanie Morrill are the first two audiobooks in the Piper Sail Mystery series. Narrated by Megan Trout, listeners step into the 1920s with these historical mysteries that reminded me of the Nancy Drew novels I devoured as a child.
Narrated by Noah James Butler, The Misplaced Physician by Jeri Westerson is the third audiobook in the Irregular Detective Mystery series. Sherlock Holmes is away when Doctor John H. Watson is kidnapped, and it’s up to Timothy Badger, former Baker Street Irregular, and his partner, Benjamin Watson, to save him.
The Gilded Heiress by Joanna Shupe is a spicy Anastasia story that takes place in New York City during the Gilded Age. From Boston to New York, you’ll get to know Leo Hardy and Josie Smith in this slow-burning, steamy-hot historical romance.
The Long Journey by G. L. Gooding is third audiobook in Velma’s story, narrated by Kate Wisniewski. The author continues the story of Velma and her family as World War II changes things for the young family. Love, loss, moves, and family made this story memorable and left me hoping for another book.
