I was drawn to the audiobook of The Undercover Bookshop by Katherine Reay with its promise of a historical mystery set in a small Cotswold village in 1950. While it was slow to start, the tale narrated by Fiona Hardingham delivered a cozy mystery with spies and a curious amateur sleuth that I found charming.
Sophia Rose continues her reviews of Journals of Emma N. Lion with Volume 7 by Beth Brower. Narrated by Genevieve Gaunt if you are a fan of Jane Austen, P.G. Wodehouse, L. M. Montgomery, and Jean Webster, you’ll want to check them out.
The Gilded Rose by Joanna Shupe gives readers a romantic Beauty and the Beast retelling set against the opulence of Gilded Age New York. An addictive romance from an author I both admire and enjoy.
The Wrexford & Sloane historical mystery series has become a favorite. I quickly devoured Murder on Threadneedle Street by Andrea Penrose. A murder with ties to a decades-old event has the gang investigating as we get a look at daily life with the Weasels and Wrex’s half-sister.
The Vanished Sister by Sherry Thomas is the ninth audiobook narrated by Kate Reading in the Lady Sherlock historical mystery series. Sherlock puzzles out a missing persons case when Mrs. Watson’s long-estranged sister goes missing. Another addictive tale in this beloved series.
