In spite of Davina Porter’s excellent narration, this story is the weakest in the series for me; it’s still a good listen or read, and worth a healthy three stars, but this series would’ve been better with just three titles. In book #4, both the comically dismissive attitudes of Rose’s parents toward her well-being and Rose’s on-again-off-again romance with Harry Cathcart are tiresome. No spoilers here, except that loose ends are tied up. I won’t say how they’re tied up, and as Marion Chesney/M.C. Beaton fans know, no romance is guaranteed to have a fairy-tale ending in her worlds, but it’s very obvious that this was intended to be the last in the series. Readers of the first three books will want to read "Our Lady of Pain" for closure. Book 4 - Rose went to far and now along with Daisy have been sent to learn how to be a respectable women with the nuns - how she gets out of this and finding a new potential husband is her mission - Forget about Harry who hasn't come to save her... or has he --- Great series! the last of the adventure leaves me hoping for a sequel Edwardian End Review of the Blackstone Audio Inc. audiobook edition (December 2008) of the original Minotaur hardcover (April 2006) O splendid and sterile Dolores, Our Lady of Pain concludes the story of Lady Rose Summer and Captain Harry Cathcart in the 4th of 4 Edwardian Murder Mysteries. The mystery elements were mostly secondary in these plots and are more like MacGuffins. The main story arc was always the 'will they or won't they' courtship of the 2 principles. This concluding episode ties things up in the inevitable fashion but does so almost at the last instant, so there is the mild suspense of thinking it will still fall apart. I've completed my pandemic reading splurge of cozy mysteries by M.C. Beaton, the penname used by Marion Chesney (1936-2019) for her popular Hamish Macbeth and Agatha Raisin series. Chesney first became a writer with various historical romances from 1977 onwards, before branching out into the crime genre with her first Hamish Macbeth in 1985 and first Agatha Raisin in 1992. Romances are not my genre, but Chesney's mini-series of 4 Edwardian Murder Mysteries sounded like enough of a crossover between her historical fiction and her cozy mysteries to follow up on. The narration by veteran Davina Porter (approx. 230 book narrations to her credit) was excellent throughout. Porter is especially good with her range of voices that is able to effectively mimic male as well as female tones. All of the Edwardian Murder Mysteries series are available free to Audible Plus members. I'm glad that I am finished w/ this series.... All the characters were becoming so very predictable and BORING! Lady Rose & Captain Harry Cathcart's on/off again engagement is tedious. Her companion Daisy & his man, Becket get married only to have Becket's entire personality change & Daisy longing for a divorce. A well known courtesan receives death threats & is murdered... Lady Rose finds her and picks up the weapon... enter the police & arrest Lady Rose... and off we go. Ho-hum..... I'm done! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

But then Harry's latest client, Dolores Duvalâ??-a vision of curves with a seductive French accentâ??-starts appearing everywhere at his side. And that changes everything.

It's just so much going on in the story and the characters seem to be blindly stumbling into chaos. ( )
