About this listen

The truth lies in the walls of Ambletye Manor...

Secrets. Lies.

And four missing wives.

1813. Lizzie's beloved older sister Esme is sold in marriage to the ageing Lord Blountford to settle their father's debts.

One year later, Esme is dead, and Lizzie is sent to take her place as Lord Blountford's next wife.

Arriving at Ambletye Manor, Lizzie uncovers a twisted web of secrets, not least that she is to be the fifth mistress of this house.

Marisa. Anne. Pansy. Esme.

What happened to the four wives who came before her?

In possession of a unique gift, only Lizzie can hear their stories, and try to find a way to save herself from sharing the same fate.

I did really enjoy this story, it had a lot of the elements I enjoy when it comes to fiction and it has the historical element as well, ny only negative was the antagonist as it was quite clear he was being bee-lined to be this "oh they are so terrible" type character when in reality he was quite regular for the time period and the story tended to flipflop between humanising them with these sad heart to heart moments of loss and then back to painting them negatively.

All in all though I did very mich enjoy my time in this world and it was narrated amazingly.

So close but almost perfect

Very predictable and over detailed. Eg the entire wedding vows repeated line by line. Engaging enough as background noise but not really my cup of tea.

Okay but not really satisfying

A really good listen, found myself binge listening and unable to stop. So many good twists and turns and the ending rounded the book up perfectly.

Great Plot

this is a really engrossing book that has the traditional gothic feel to it. There is a love story, but it isn't soppy and exaggerated. I love the FMC's characterisation

Engrossing
