Historia
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

WTF? The ending is terrible.
Revisado: 12-07-24
I should have read reviews bc I see now that others dislike the ending. The whole story basically falls off a cliff. (Pun intended). It was too long and then the ending is completely unsatisfying. Start the book if you’re curious but you can skip almost all of it and not lose the plot.

An entire Royal Spyness book without Belinda?
Revisado: 11-22-24
Another great book from Rys Bowen! I have read or listened to every single one at least once. But Belinda is one of my most favorite characters. In fact, I think a spin-off series of books focusing on Belinda as the main character would be fantastic. I find her intriguing and fun and she always brings the right amount of high class irreverence and levity. She was missed in this book. It was kind of surprising that Georgie didn't even mention her. Anyway, excellent story and Jasmine Blackborow is superb. I anticipate the next book will be during WW2. Can't wait!

Magical!
Revisado: 09-16-24
There’s something about this book that reminds me of a children’s book, but I mean that in the best way possible. There’s elemental truths here for living a life of meaning and purpose The writing is absolutely beautiful - my first Matt Haig book but not my last. I will remember Grace and this story and will likely listen again someday. It made me research the sea grass in Ibiza. 🥰 The narration was perfect. Overall a very special book, that felt like a gift for the soul.

Twenty-five years after the end of the war, Noah Ainsworth is still preoccupied with those perilous, exhilarating years as a British SOE operative in France. A head injury sustained on his final operation has caused frustrating gaps in his memory—in particular about the agent who saved his life during that mission gone wrong, whose real name he never knew, nor whether she even survived the war.

Formulaic and predictable
Revisado: 02-28-24
Slightly charming due to the time period but it’s all been done before, and better. This doesn’t feel creative. The characters aren’t particularly interesting. Hearing her sigh and talk to her dog Ruby, “Oh Rubes, what’s a girl to do in a mess like this” …. Sigh…. that unimaginative and humdrum.

Surprisingly good book. Highly recommend.
Revisado: 02-08-24
Something about the artwork on the cover made me think this would be a light and silly but entertaining book. It is so much more! The twin sisters Gus & Julia are bright, strong willed and very brave. The brothel rescue was heart racing and, I don't want to give anything away so I will just say it is worth the ride. Excellent storyline and narrator. I thoroughly enjoyed it and very much look forward to the next in the series.
