Very enjoyable

A collection of books, well done mysteries. Women, work, and history of nineteenth century efforts to restrain, contain, and improve women’s place in British Society.

Some Interesting twist, some predictability, tiny amount of romance

I would rate these clean reads mysteries a step up from cozy as they do get serious. However, they are hardly today’s thrillers. In my opinion they walk a good line for a kind of gothic novel style mystery.

The first three books were a combination of pros and cons, guessing the villain early, middle, and wrong until the end (which was a pleasant change).

For me the biggest drawback is the last of romance. It takes slow burn down to just red coals burning. In this aspect I think we would get so much more out of also hearing the narrative of James. For me, it’s just too slow, hence the lost star.

Attention to detail

The attention to detail was excellent. Everything from clothing, personalities and locations, etc. Just loved everything about this series.

Absolutely Loved it!!!!

This was a fantastic series. I loved the narrator and the story grabbed my attention from the very beginning. It a fun mystery series. The characters are wonderfully thought out. The attention to detail is amazing. It’s light hearted and easy to listen to, I can’t wait for more adventures with Penny and James.

Very entertaining

The stories were engaging mysteries, with enlightening facts and history of the characters during the time. Period and there was many pearls of wisdom and insights to human behavior that go on in the past and transferred to the present.. Thank you for putting these books into the plus category so we can explore the brilliance of different authors, and afford to read their series❤️

Fantastic

These three stories were very engaging and enlightening!

Poor Penny seems to get in trouble while helping to solve crimes. Here regard for James gets a little out of hand and she finally met his betrothed!

Off to book four to see what will happen next!

Great series

I liked everything about this series, the chacters and the well written plots and the narration was well performed

Silly stories

Silly and implausible stories that depict the police force and reporters in a very unprofessional light.

Not Very Good

These were clean, which is important to me but somehow unbelievable. I didn’t care for the character or her thinking and the reader had a lisp which I couldn’t unhear plus she wasn’t able to distinguish the characters voices very well. I barely started the second book, the story line may have been better than the first but it wasn’t worth the struggle to keep listening.
