I listened to the audiobook and not only is the story great but Joel Leslie’s narration is fantastic. I just love these MCs and I hope we are going to get more in this series. I’m not normally a fan of historicals but I have really enjoyed these. I believe that is due to the characters of Leo and James and to Joel Leslie’s performance bringing them to life.

The country weekend mystery is quintessentially British and will keep you guessing until the end. Lots of clues and lots of red herrings! Leslie’s performance makes each character distinct and makes each of them come alive. He conveys the emotions of the story som much better than reading on the page would have.

The way this series sets in the 1940’s addresses homosexuality makes you realize how far we’ve come. We are by no means perfect, especially with recent political happenings but we have most definitely made quite a bit of progress. That is encouraging and will hopefully encourage people to stand up and fight now.
