With This Ring

De: Amanda Quick

Narrado por: Janet McTeer

Beatrice Poole may be a vicar's daughter, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to the darker passions. Indeed, she knows enough about gothic terrors to have carved out a highly successful career penning "horrid novels." But now the talented authoress finds herself in the midst of an ominous adventure that rivals anything she's ever written.

Her beloved Uncle Reggie is dead, Beatrice suspects that he was murdered - all because of his keen interest in a fabled treasure that may not even exist. Rumors abound that the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, said to give their possessor the most unnatural powers, have surfaced in London. Yet Beatrice needs more than rumors to uncover the truth. That's why she's braved the wilds of Devon to seek out a leading authority on antiquities and ancient legends: The famously eccentric, unquestionably reclusive, possibly dangerous Earl of Monkcrest, a man believed to dabble in the supernatural.

But bearding the Mad Monk of Monkcrest in his den and dangling the possibility of uncovering a fabulous artifact before him may be the biggest mistake of Beatrice's life. For suddenly, she finds herself joined in an uneasy alliance with a man who is every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"New York Times best selling author Amanda Quick enlivens Regency England once again with a battle of wills, a touch of the supernatural, and a dangerous mystery...Skillful, lively storytelling." (Kirkus Reviews)

Short story that's entertaining

Fun and interesting. Short story with great dialogue and characters including all walks of life

Unremarkable

Amanda Quick must have used Ai on this one. I wasted time and money. Not much of a plot and content was boring.

Abridged!

Poorly abridged with no clear warning. Waisted money even given the sale price. I am disappointed in the labeling system.

Abridged ineptly

They cut way too much out of this version of the book. Hence the ending is confusing.

we want the unabridged/Barbara Rosenblatt version

This abridged version and this narrator don't do this book justice.

Wait for Audible to offer Recorded Books' wonderful versions of this and other early Quick books. They're funny, fast-paced, and charming.
