Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,225
The latest occurrence to disturb the peace in the quaint English village of Walmsley Parva hits rather too close to home - in fact, the prime suspect has taken up residence in Edwina's potting shed. Her elderly gardener Simpkins has been secretly sleeping there after a row with his disreputable brother-in-law and housemate, Hector Lomax. When Hector is found murdered, Constable Gibbs comes looking for Simpkins, last seen arguing with Hector the night before. Based on the sad state of her garden, Edwina has grave doubts that shiftless Simpkins could muster the effort to murder anyone.

A rich, layered story with multi-dimensional mature characters who you wish you could spend more time with after the book ends. And I learned about a time in history relatively unfamiliar to me. I enjoyed the narration and the Scottish accents! Tremendous book!

Savannah Cade's dreams are coming true. The Claire Donovan, editor-in-chief of the most successful romance publishing company in the country, has requested to see the manuscript Savannah's been secretly writing. The only problem: she's an editor for a different company, and their philosophy is only highbrow works are worth printing and romance should be reserved for the lowest level of Dante's inferno.

I almost didn’t listen to this because of a previous review but I’m glad I did! I’ve enjoyed each book in this series. Story and narration was great! I don’t mind faith based books but even if I did I personally didn’t find it overt.

Lord Elliott Mayfield sees the new generation of his family moving in the same direction of bad matches and scandalous relationships as the last. In hopes to change their course, he establishes a "marriage campaign" to motivate them to improve themselves through making respectable matches. Peter, Elliott's eldest nephew, thinks the entire idea is ridiculous. A widower with two young daughters, he simply needs a governess, not a wife. Julia Hollingsworth has the credentials and the experience, but is too young and pretty for such a job. So why can't he stop thinking about her?

Love this series! Love this narrator! Deeply appreciate this author. -depth of characters, beautiful story, layers of people and relationships, travel and adventure. Fresh and new story lines without worn out tropes. Good use of emotion and my own mental health rather than wasting it on drawn out character stupidity. Roseanna’s characters are smart and real, and as varied as real humans. Thanks, as always, for a fun and insightful story. —A refreshing use of my limited rejuvenation time after a long day at work.

Vera Sorokina loves reading the penny dreadfuls and immersing herself in tales of adventure, mystery, and romance. Her own days are filled with the often mundane work of running the book and print shop she owns with her father. The shop offers her the freedom and income to employ and protect the poverty-stricken Londoners she’s come to care about, and it gives her father something to do other than long for their hometown of St. Petersburg. She is grateful for the stability in their lives, but she often feels lonely.
