Thank you Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for allowing me to listen and review this one! The narrators were amazing and did a stellar job, they fit the characters and created an enthusiastic listen! If you are looking for a good historical mystery with a splash of romance then you should read this one! It reminds me of Enola Holmes but for Adults!
