More easy escapism!

If you liked the first book in the series you will most probably like this one too as it is much in the same vein. Not intellectually demanding and a bit silly in many parts, it serves its purpose as an escapist historical romance/detective story and as that is what I want at the moment I am ordering the third in the series; however, if you want a book that will stretch you and something you can get your teeth into then this isn't for you .

Good

I love this narrator. All through the Glass and Steele books, she grew in confidence. Now she puts on the characters like a cloak.
Enjoying all the Archer books so far.

Harry Potter meets miss marple

This is a very easy read. Enough to keep my interest, bit of mystery and a bit of romance. Could be longer for the money! Wish there was a box set.

Great 2nd Instalment

As the story continues we get to know more about the characters. This is a well thought out story that continues the intrigue while answering some of the questions that arose in book 1. Trouble is it also brings up more questions to take into book 3. I have enjoyed both books immensely and I look forward to the rest of them. I'm glad there are plenty of books, I don't want the story to end too quickly. I also think these books would make great TV, either a film or a series. Keep up the good work.

Another cliffhanger but the series is addictive

I'm really enjoying this series. While I don't really like books with cliffhanger endings, the continuing story of India and Matt's search for the watchmaker, Chronos, has me intrigued and fascinated by the story. I have to admit to being drawn in by the attraction between the two main characters too. While Matt's feelings for her seem fairly obvious to the reader/listener, India herself seems oblivious to them, while finding it difficult to hide her own feelings. I don't blame her for falling for him, he's a very charismatic character. Looks like I'm going to have to keep on until the end of the series!

Good

The story itself is good, however the woman reading this book isn’t as good as the previous reader of the previous book.
Terrible American accent. It’s really off putting

Needs more action and excitement

Not very exciting narration ok but needs more excitement to keep me listening a bit flat.

Dumb females and dull story

I read the reviews, and had high hopes when starting this series. I simply can't get past the female main character's inability to see even the simplest of connections and how the story drags on and on. I'm not a huge fan of the narrator either. It's a no from me I'm afraid.

Whiny new narrator

Had high hopes for the second enstalment but the new narrator plays India, who was previously vulnerable because of her circumstance but brave regardless, into a silly prissy baby women who the other characters inexplicably adore. Granted the writing is more to blame. She’s has in one book gone from a quietly plucky heroine to a irritating stereotype.
