True crime with a rich dark twist

I listened to this during a weekend of deep cleaning and found myself doing extra chores just to keep it going The story felt like stepping into a secret world full of big egos quiet jealousy and shocking turns The narrator’s voice was calm but firm and matched the serious tone ideally I liked how steady it was even when things got wild The pace never dragged and the details were just enough to stay hooked but not lost It reminded me how real life can be stranger than anything made up and I honestly loved every minute.

I love this series!

I loved reading Architect of Desire. This book brought the Gilded Age to life with intense descriptions and scandalous affairs. I really appreciate how the author weaves together true crime, but tells the story as if watching a movie full of twists and turns. The narration was good as well. I was intrigued by the characters and the story. The fact that this is a true crime really makes it like a fun mystery, but teaches you about the time period at the same time. I have read another of the books in this series and love how the author explains how the media sways public opinion. It reads like an exciting soap opera the whole way through. I highly recommend if you love the Gilded Age, scandals, history, dramas, etc. Great read!

Pulled Me In Right Away

I listened to this during a rainy weekend when I had nowhere to be and nothing to do and it honestly felt perfect. The story had just enough drama and tension to keep me curious the whole time. The voice acting really worked for me too. His tone felt smooth and steady and matched the vibe of the story in a way that made it easy to get lost in. I liked how calm it made me feel. It was one of those listens that made time fly.

Interesting story and a learning process

I like adventure stories, and I’m aware that history can repeat itself if things don’t change. The part of Harry Thaw’s trial was fascinating to me because we all face trials in life, so different that we need to figure out how to get out of our mess. The drama and the history shape the way we think today. If we follow the story's example, we could make a few changes to improve it, who knows? It’s a great story.
