For fans of Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events and Trenton Lee Stewart's Mysterious Benedict Society, here comes the final book in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, the acclaimed and hilarious Victorian mystery series by Maryrose Wood.
Unhappy Penelope Lumley is trapped in unhappy Plinkst! Even the beets for which Plinkst is inexplicably famous fail to grow in this utterly miserable Russian village. Penelope anxiously counts the days and wonders how she will ever get back to England in time to save all the Ashtons—who, she now knows, include herself and the Incorrigible children, although their precise location on the family tree is still a mystery—from their accursèd fate.
Her daring scheme to escape sends her on a wildly unexpected journey. But time is running out, and the not-really-dead Edward Ashton is still on the loose. His mad obsession with the wolfish curse on the Ashtons puts Penelope and the Incorrigibles in dire peril. As Penelope fights her way back to her beloved pupils, the three brave Incorrigibles endure their gloomy new tutor and worriedly prepare for the arrival of Lady Constance’s baby. Little do they know the danger they’re in!
In this action-packed conclusion to the acclaimed series, mysteries are solved and long-lost answers are found. Only one question remains: Will Penelope and the Incorrigibles find a way to undo the family curse in time, or will the next full moon be their last?

Critic reviews
"Fiona Hardingham narrates the final Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place audiobook with exuberance, charm, and impeccable timing.... Hardingham deftly incorporates a wide range of accents and voices, including those of chilling villains, distracted fathers, and ridiculous ladies of leisure. Listeners will be completely engaged by her comedic timing, which adds piquancy to Wood's witty repartee and over-the-top puns. A thoroughly satisfying conclusion and delightful listen for all ages."

Anyone who has heard Katherine Kellgren at work will miss her and mourn her tragic loss to cancer. Kellgren threw herself into each character she voiced and was fearless in relating an author’s work. In “Ashton Place” her barks, howls, whoops, and other onomatopoeia gave so much to the story; I never once imagined the sounds blandly spelled out like the cheesy “pew-pew” of a comic book laser gun. You always had the sense that Kellgren had read the book, rehearsed and tried out voices, sounds, and inflections. She read like each story was important to her, like she loved acting and voice acting was where she knew she would be special.
Hardingham has a beautiful voice and I can find no fault with her work. The difference is in the work, preparation, and treatment of the text. Where Kellgren invested her life’s work into voice acting, Hardingham seems to be voice acting until she waits for her big break into TV or film. When Kellgren howled and barked like no one was watching, Hardingham reads the words like a girl in school who doesn’t want to be teased about her performance.
I realize I didn’t really address the story, characters, author or any other element of the book but that’s because it didn’t change. The story is creative, compelling, silly, and highly entertaining without taking itself too seriously. It has always been great and I’m just as impressed with Maryrose Wood now as ever.
I’ve read hundreds and hundreds of books on audible, more than 550 in the last four years and enjoyed this series as one of the top ten best; it would not have had nearly such a strong impact on me without Katherine Kellgren.
Fiona is fine, but Kellgren set an impossibly high bar
