This is a pretty fun series. There is a lot of chemistry between Verity and Sydney and their on again/off again passion leads to good sexual tension. That being said, all their marital exploits are completely off screen. The mystery elements are well crafted, and the portrayal of the roaring twenties in post war Europe is interesting. I only wish they had a different reader narrating the book. I don't know why they chose her. Her accent and character voices are ok, but she totally doesn't understand phrasing. Oh well. I am more tolerant of bad readers than some people so I will probably end up listening to more in the series. (2019, 336p)
