De: Kate Parker

Narrado por: Henrietta Meire

Olivia Denis is hesitant to help an old family friend get ready for her wedding outside London. The so-called friend is a master at using people. As a young widow trying to find her way through a new romantic relationship, Olivia would rather avoid the large party.

She definitely didn't plan to find the bride's grandfather stabbed to death. The cruel, enormously rich aristocrat had changed his will only the day before, angering all his children.

But as Olivia is forced to investigate the murder, she's called away by her employer, the owner of an influential London daily newspaper. She must carry out another secret assignment, one that will take her to Vienna, now part of Nazi Germany.

With war on the horizon and attacks on the old man's family increasing, can Olivia find a way to save lives in two countries?

Well Written and Spoken

This story was gut wrenching in a way that makes you pissed off at the author but also admire them for how they manage to effect your emotions. It took me longer than usual to suspect who had done it, and though the finale reveal wasnt a shock, the devastation of it was raw and personal.

Wow

This was painful bring memories of the start of Hitler and treatment of the Jews. Heartbreaking. A tough story of family betrayal and injuries that could not be healed

Loved it and Hated it!

I loved it and hated it. Beautiful, sad and fabulous! Beautifully written characters, plot and setting. The lives were so real and at times sad, yet the love and hope keeps it from being maudlin. I had to get the audio because I'd gotten halfway through the book and was overwhelmed with several projects. I loved the audiobook! Henrietta Meire brings Olivia and the horrors of pre-WWII to life. I'm so excited for this series.

Most Surprised!

This second book in the Deadly series was very well written. There were a multitude of characters and the narrator did a brilliant job at bringing them all to life. The mystery was intriguing and I was shocked by the reveal. Overall, this book was enjoyable and I look forward to the next adventure with Olivia.

Good mystery

I didn’t have it figured out until the protagonist did. It would have been nice to have more likable side characters. Without some decent interchanges between people, we’re mostly left to the mystery holding us to the story. Luckily, this was an interesting one. The narrator is very good with the mood, cadence, and tone. Olivia’s voice is good. Men’s voices are okay, but not great. And because there are several men, they sound similar. I recommend this series and will look into the next one in line.
