Dorothy Gilman, famous for her best-selling Mrs. Pollifax mysteries, crafts a novel pulsing with international intrigue and psychological drama.

Disappointing

Was this really written by Dorothy Gilman? The introspective story is unlike anything else that I have read by her, and the narrator does the book no favors.

Deep Dive!

I’ve listened to many books by this author, but this one is very different. It had an incredible inner narrative, I think I’ll listen again, as there were quite a few valuable life lessens hidden underneath.

Not her best

This book was very introspective to the point that it bogged down the story. I usually enjoy Dorothy Gilman’s stand-alone novels more than her Mrs. P novels because they’re deeper explorations but this was deeper than I found enjoyable.

Disappointed

I also really enjoyed the other books by this author but the main character in this one was a bummer. Plus the ending itself was sub par. Oh well.

slow but good

Not a typical espionage thriller, but a good, introspective book. not action packed. This sounds more negative than i intended, I enjoyed it a lot .

Abrupt ending

I hate listening to long sections of over thinking and many trials only to have an abrupt ending

Dreary

I have enjoyed all of Gilman ‘s books so far, but this one was dreary and unsatisfying. So much self analysis…

dark but uplifting.<br /> <br />

seemed repetitious in the beginning, but finally I saw the light, just like Michelle. Her strength was uplifting.
