Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Victoria becomes executor of her rich aunt's will, an easy job, seeing as the fortune is to be divided equally between two daughters. But then a stranger shows up with a claim to the whole shebang. Upon investigation, Victoria uncovers some shocking secrets, including family guilt during the Holocaust. This is a witty, suspenseful, elegantly written mystery with psychological depth and well-delineated characters. Penelope Freeman reads in a mellifluous, patrician style. Unfortunately, while she knows what the words mean, she has no idea what the book is about or who the characters are. Hers is a very lazy job of work that disserves an exceptional piece of fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars
You won't be disappointed,
This review is from: Under a Dark Sun (Audio Cassette)
If you are a fan of Jessica Mann then this book will not disappoint you. Included in the Times list of Best Crime Novel of the Year, this is a great book. It's a veritable spider's web of threads that culminate under the darkening skies of Cornwall during a total eclipse of the sun. I was gripped from start to finish. Contrary to the AudioFile review, I found Penelope Freeman's narration most enjoyable. Her delivery was wonderfully easy on the ear and kept me listening chapter after chapter. Can't recommend it enough. Top marks.
