Well, since I was listening to this book not exactly turning pages but I found myself slowing down my driving to hear more. Great storyline and unbelievable twists and turns.

A bit cumbersome but entertaining

This is the first I've listened to in the series. The author provided enough back story to give this installment context. It was interesting hearing about the manners and mores of 19th century England, although I'm not a historian so I cannot attest to historical accuracy. I did get a bit muddled with all the characters at the heart of the plot, all these men with their sons and wives. But the author did a good job of weaving storylines together. Perhaps if i had been reading a printed copy, i could have kept track better of who's who. The ending was satisfying and not melodramatic. Davina Porter is a consummate narrator. I would recommend this novel and I hope to listen to more by this author.

Excellent mystery

Why Mermaids Sing, third book in the Sebastian St. Cyr mysteries, was an excellent historical mystery. I realized I had accidentally skipped book 2, but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment.

Fantastic Story with many twists and turns

I thoroughly am enjoying this series. Keeps me totally engrossed and eager to hear more.
