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.

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!!

Love the continued evolution of characters in this series.

This Sebastian St. Cyr has entranced me with the characters, the plots and the presentation. I can’t wait to continue with this series.

Enjoyable series

Stumbled upon this series in a 2-for-1 sale. So glad I investigated them. I could listen to Davina Porter all day long. The plots are well-thought out and crafted. Looking forward to the rest.

Great book

Great book very entertaining and narrated by the sublime Davina Porter.
There is only one downside and that's that not the complete series is available. So you miss a lot of the ongoing story.
