This is a re-read, and my original review for this book can be found here. As with the other Milans I’ve been revisiting, I wanted to listen to this in audio, but discovered, to my dismay that it wasn’t narrated by Polly Lee, who did the first two books in The Turner series, but Nicole Quinn, whose voice just did NOT work for me. I tried to warm to her throughout the first chapter, but gave up and returned the audio. Unraveled is my favourite book in this trilogy […]
This affected me so much more this time around
This is my first re-read of this book. My original review can be found here. With the other two books in The Turners series, I have re-read the books more than once over the years. I read Unclaimed back in 2011 and haven’t revisited it since. Until now. While I would still rank it as the weakest of the three books in the trilogy, that is only really because one of the books has to come in third place. In my memory, Mark and Jessica’s story wasn’t as engrossing and […]
I just didn’t care…at all
2.5 stars Three years ago, Seraphina “Sera” Bevingstoke, Duchess of Haven, miscarried her daughter (seriously this is NOT a spoiler, it happens in like the second or third chapter) and was persuaded by the Dowager Duchess of Haven that maybe it was best if she just disappeared. With financial help from her antagonistic mother-in-law, Sera flees her disaster of a marriage and goes to America, where she finds a business partner and something she enjoys doing enough to dull the pain in her heart. But […]
Wherein we find out even more about Stoker’s past
Spoiler warning! This is book three in a series, and as such, this review may spoil details from the two earlier books. If you want to start at the beginning, A Curious Beginning is the first book. Veronica Speedwell and her colleague and sometime partner in crime-solving, Stoker (Revelstoke Templeton-Vane) are alerted to the fact that Stoker may well come under public scrutiny in a criminal case. John de Morgan, Stoker’s former best friend and one time expedition partner, the man who ended up marrying Stoker’s ex-wife after […]
Artists and orgies and murder…oh my
Spoiler warning! This is the second book in the series, and the review will contain certain spoilers for the first book, A Curious Beginning. Therefore, if you’re not all caught up and don’t want the ending of that book and Veronica’s background spoiled for you, skip this review until you’re caught up. Veronica Speedwell and her partner in mischief, Stoker (full name Revelstoke Templeton-Vane) were all set to go on an exciting expedition to the South Pacific when their employer, Lord Rosemorran, fell over his giant tortoise […]
