I wasn't really enamored by this book.I tried.The narration by Samuel E Hoke had me aware of every mispronounced word.The story was mediocre.Maybe I needed to read the first two first.I was provided this book by the author, narrator or publisher.

Scarry and Exciting!!!

A interesting occourance of a bleeding mirror.. wonderfully suspenseful and mysteriousI received a free copy of this book and voluntarily decided to review."

Pretty good story, narration was weird at times

What made the experience of listening to The Mirror Was Bleeding the most enjoyable?

Listening to it was actually hard to get into because of the editing.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the character twists even though I could see some of them coming.

What does Samuel E. Hoke bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His narrating voice was good, sometimes a tad too thick but not distracting. What was distracting was the recording and editing. There were so many abrupt stops and pick ups that really took me away from the story. There were lots of times when sentences were run on top of each other or the flow was stopped abruptly in the beginning.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"Murder. Treason. Romance." thanks deby

Any additional comments?

The story is a good murder mystery of trying to find out who did it with a good twist but overall lacking in originality, not bad but also nothing new.

A Well Developed Mystery..

Any additional comments?

This was a well written mystery with a few twists.

The story line kept me guessing to the very end and was an overall engaging read.

I am very interested in the rest of the books in this series.


Samuel E. Hoke did well with the narration.

Murder. Treason. Romance.

This Regency genre novella starts innocently enough with the dalliance of a duke. It moves quickly as the tables turn on our hero. The story unwinds in a satisfactory manner.

I am beginning to understand the attraction of audio books. Samuel Hoke's narration is understated yet adds significantly to the story.
