About this listen

The Secrets of Wishtide: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*

Mrs. Laetitia Rodd, aged 52, is the widow of an archdeacon who makes her living as a highly discreet private investigator. Her brother, Frederick Tyson, is a criminal barrister living in nearby Highgate with his wife and 10 children. Frederick finds the cases, and Laetitia solves them using her arch intelligence and her immaculate cover as an unsuspecting widow.

When a case arises involving the son of the highly connected Sir James Calderstone, Laetitia sets off for Lincolnshire undercover as the family's new governess - quickly making herself indispensable. But the seemingly simple case - looking into young Charles Calderstone's inappropriate love interest - soon takes an unpleasant turn. And as the family's secrets begin to unfold, Laetitia discovers the Calderstones have more to hide than most.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

The duration is perfect the Navigator later assumes such different characters and characters with different accents and different focal intonations that prepare local intonations that propel the story swiftly forward. I was glued to this audio book and I've been listening to audio books for more than 20 years.

Absolutely incredible

I became used to the music throughout the storytelling but at first it was distracting. Enjoyed
The story and the characters. Saunders tells a good tale and Bentick narrates Mrs. Rodd just right.

Good tale, unsure about all the music

Fantastic

The story is very interesting and well written, but the music took all the pleasure away from the listening. I also did not really like the very slow pace of the reader, even though she did a remarkable job at all of the different voices. This should have been a 5 star review for the book and the story.

Remove the music!!!!

My first audiobook with a music soundtrack. It’s awful. Hopefully more of the Laetitia Todd’s will be on audiobook in the future though.

Not a fan of the soundtrack

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and her Laetitia Rodd and the Wandering Scholar. But the music playing on this one was distracting and annoying, sorry to say.

Good story, great narration.

well written and performed enjoyable to the very end. parts of the accompanying music were distracting to the point of annoyance.

well done

Great story, wonderful narrator and that’s the only reason I kept listening even though the music was annoying and distracting. The music added tones to parts that I would not have given those sections and mislead me to think other things were going on. Like ominous music in an interrogation that ended up only giving mundane information.

I hope other books in the series will be available with the same narrator and NO MUSIC.

Better without musical background

I found the musical background (mostly a cello being sawed) to be overpowering, boring at best, but most often distracting and irritating. I abandoned the book after chapter one and bought the regular edition. what a waste! I will be sure to listen to the sample from now on!

music background is horrible

The story kept my attention, but the music was very annoying . I wouldn't listen to another with music

Good book
