The book lacked so much... character development, story development, descriptive words and sentences were totally lost on the this author. I MADE myself finish but it was mundane and predictable at best.

Struggled to finish and then totally disappointed at the terrible ending. The narrator is a yawn-fest, nice voice, terrible narrator. I love time travel books and had just finished King's 11.22.63 which I enjoyed. At then end King gives an Academy Award type speech in which he thanks everyone except his long lost cousin. His last thanks and admiration goes to Jack Finney for his "wonderful work, Time and Again"... all I can say is he must have been hung over! It's a complete waste of a credit.

I almost returned this book thinking it was too juvenile. It took me about 4 chapters in to settle in and enjoy the ride.

I'm so glad I stuck with it. The story is both delightful and intriguing. Full of surprises.

No thriller... just smutty, trashy narrative.

The only reason I gave it two stars is because I made it all the way to the end just to see how Jane gets her revenge. Really mindless trash is all I can say for it.

Loved it, a little slow at times but because I am invested in the series and the lives of the colorful characters it was not difficult to remain interested.
The narrator is fabulous!
Some have complained about the use of Christian values being mentioned but to me it is no different than a book based on a family in India using Hindu references. It is part of the cultural setting.

not my favorite Maisie Dobbs mystery. Too many things going on with too many names to remember. I was looking forward to exploring Maurice's home and this volume but it was not to be. I'm still Maisie Dobbs fan and will continue to read her Adventures.

You won't be disappointed. Great book, wonderful narrator. I had to stop and Google... Is this real or fiction?

Always enjoy the twists and turns of a Baldacci, just wish the narrator would learn the correct pronunciation of 'library'... and he said it a lot. LOL

Listened to all three in three days. Sad it's over! Love the way the books each have their own style but keep the same flow and intensity. The narrator's heartfelt, emotional performance was outstanding.
