Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Sarah Lambie’s narration in 'Rubies in the Roses' elevates Vivian Conroy’s tale beyond mere words on a page. Her crisp, clear voice lends an authenticity to Cornisea castle, making every creaky door and whispering willow tree come alive. The story itself is a delightful blend of mystery and small-town intrigue, with Guinevere Evans piecing together clues in her summer job like the pieces of a puzzle. However, I found myself wishing for just a tad more depth to some secondary characters—perhaps more than a brief cameo here and there. Overall, it’s an engaging ride through Cornish summers past and present, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie with a contemporary twist.
