Elizabeth Knowelden zestfully presents Bristol, England, in 1911.... Knowelden impressively conveys the nasty infighting of the cast, locals and gentry, and endless descriptions of mouthwatering food.... The lively banter, along with countless motives and alibis, keeps listeners guessing--often incorrectly. Historical trivia and occasional laugh-out-loud moments add to the fun, making audio a must. --AudioFile Magazine
