In 1919 England, in the shadow of The Great War, many look to the spirit world for answers. But it will take an all-too-earthbound intrigue to draw in the discerning heroine of Anna Lee Huber's latest mystery.

It's not that Verity Kent doesn't sympathize with those eager to make contact with lost loved ones. After all, she once believed herself a war widow. But now that she's discovered Sidney is very much alive, Verity is having enough trouble connecting with her estranged husband, never mind the dead. Still, at a friend's behest, Verity attends a seance, where she encounters the man who still looms between her and Sidney - and a medium who channels a woman Verity once worked with in the Secret Service. Refusing to believe her former fellow spy is dead, Verity is determined to uncover the source of the spiritualist's top-secret revelation.

Then the medium is murdered - and Verity's investigation is suddenly thwarted. Even Secret Service agents she once trusted turn their backs on her. Undaunted, Verity heads to war-torn Belgium, with Sidney by her side. But as they draw ever closer to the danger, Verity wonders if she's about to learn the true meaning of till death do us part.

I was not sure about this story or reading when I begin but by and by it grow on me. I can't wait to read or listen to the following books of this series.

The story. Is very good. But the way. The Narrator reads. The story. It’s annoying. To hear.

The narrator...

The lady reading the story has a wonderful voice and accent, but her sing-song style almost made me quit listening. I managed to stick it out to the end because the story was very interesting.

Very good story. The conversations are slightly better, but the cadence of the narrator's voice is so distracting that I will not choose another book narrated by her no matter who the author is. The sing song way she speaks is grating.

Cadence of narrator's voice is horrible

I’ve enjoyed Verity’s adventures so far. I read the first book in the series and listened to the second. I’m going to have to go back to reading as the narrator left a lot to be desired. She has a strange habit of ending virtually all sentences on a downward tone (sort of like a news reporter on a live newscast). The cadence was off-kilter and she often forgot to change back to her narration voice after delivering a character’s line. Very distracting to what is otherwise a well-layered, historical adventure that gives the reader insight to the aftermath of World War I in England and Europe.

Excellent story! Need a new narrator!

Sigh. Love this author and love all of her stories. And I love this narrator. What a wonderful period mystery, Ms Huber has done it again, arrested our hearts and has written a beautiful and intriguing mystery. I was sad that the book ended and am looking forward to the next installment.

Left me wanting more

Goodness, Variety’s husband is back from the dead, we learn of the service she was involved in during WWI. She definitely is a “modern”!

Verity is magnificent!

Enjoyed greatly, characters are multidimensional & war isnt romanticized. Balanced action, mystery & human interaction

Story felt authentic but not raw

The narrator's voice was beautiful, and more age-appropriate than the narrarator of Book 1. But, she sounded like she was 'reading' it, without accenting sentences as she would if she were telling a story. She sounded bored.

GOOD STORY/DISINTERESTED PERFORMANCE
