A Place for Miss Snow

By: Jennifer Moore

Narrated by: Nancy Peterson

Miss Diana Snow is everything a British chaperone should be - she finds satisfaction in order and depends wholly upon the rules of decorum as she negotiates the isle of Greece with her young charge. But Miss Snow’s prim and proper exterior masks a disquieting past: orphaned and alone in the world, she has only her stiff upper lip to rely upon. When a brief encounter with a handsome stranger challenges her rules of propriety, Diana is unwittingly drawn into an adventure that will turn her ordered world upside down.

Alexandros Metaxas is a Greek spy working to recruit individuals to the cause of revolution. His mission seems to be going perfectly until he encounters Diana Snow, a captivating - if slightly cold - beauty. When their paths cross again, the ill-fated reunion threatens all Alex has been fighting for. But more importantly, it places Diana’s life in jeopardy.

There is only one way to save her: they must put themselves at the mercy of the most powerful pirate family in the Mediterranean. Soon, Diana is plunged into a fantastic world of gypsy curses, blood feuds, and unexpected romance. But when a bitter vendetta places her in mortal danger, will she have the courage to fight for life and love?

It wasn't for me.

I didn't find the characters believable, and the story was underwhelming, a real shame because I felt like the plot was unique and could have been fresh and fun. The characters were not fleshed out enough and so they all felt like slight variations of one person, likely the author. Furthermore, because they were not fully given their own personalities, I was bored by them before very long. I was not immersed in the world that this author was trying to create either - location felt like an afterthought. The whole experience was sadly flat and one dimensional for me.

The narrators voice was pleasant.

A little flat

I usually like this author's stories and have listened to a lot of them repeatedly. I was hoping to listen to some new ones and thought this sounded like a great plot. Unfortunately it was kind of flat. I think due in part by the narrator's voice being so monotone. I couldn't catch the story and was confused by everything, finding myself going back multiple times because my mind wandered and ended up retuning it. I'm sad but I'll find another, I still like the author.
