The Innkeeper's Daughter

By: Michelle Griep

Narrated by: Alison Larkin

A London officer goes undercover to expose a plot against the Crown.

Dover, England, 1808: Officer Alexander Moore goes undercover as a gambling gentleman to expose a high-stakes plot against the king - and he's a master of disguise, for Johanna Langley believes him to be quite the rogue...until she can no longer fight against his unrelenting charm.

All Johanna wants is to keep the family inn afloat, but when the rent and the hearth payment are due at the same time, where will she find the extra funds? If she doesn't come up with the money, there will be nowhere to go other than the workhouse - where she'll be separated from her ailing mother and 10-year-old brother.

Alex desperately wants to help Johanna, especially when she confides in him, but his mission - finding and bringing to justice a traitor to the Crown - must come first, or they could all end up dead.

outstanding!!

Terrific story!! I especially liked Mr Nut Brown and his puppet!! good characters. Romance, but not smutty!!

Sweet faith based story

I found the sprinkling of talking to God and prayers being answered in mysterious ways a good way to remind us of what the phrase “Gods will” can really do for one who believes.

Awesome book and narrator!

WOW! I am so impressed with this audiobook. I’ve listened to many very good books and this one hits all the marks for me! The author explains in such detail to help you ‘feel’ what’s going on around the characters and the emotions they are feeling. There was plenty of suspense, action, emotion... And also what stands out to me now that I’ve finished it is that it retains all of this throughout the book until the very end. Many good audiobooks are detailed most of the way through but then finish with an ending that ties up too quickly and leaves me wishing it had drawn out a little more . Not this one. And the narrator did an awesome job with the many different characters. I’m so impressed and will look for more books by Michelle Griep.

Enjoyable If

If you enjoy a menagerie of strange characters you’ll love this book. Alex, Johanna, her little brother, and her mother are excellent characters. The others blur in and out of the different paths the novel takes. The ending is well done. There are a too many characters. Not the best performance of the men but still a good listen.

Crazy

This was the strangest well written book I’ve ever listened to. It had so many characters but they were distinct enough that after a bit of dialogue, you could remember where they came into the story last. I enjoyed the main character Johanna. And her mom. They were both strong women that worked hard, communicated well with each other without all the drama and whining. Well done
