Listened for Review (Brilliance Audio)
Overall Rating: 3.50
Story Rating: 3.50
Character Rating: 3.50

Audio Rating: 4.50 (not part of the overall rating)

First Thought when Finished: Heirs and Graces by Rhys Bowen was a good edition to this series (which I adore) but it took a bit to long to get to the crime. That being said–Kudos to Rhys to a twist that I just didn’t see coming!
