About This Audiobook

Kathleen Tessaro's prose is as rich and layered as the city itself, weaving together the stories of two unlikely friends bound by a dangerous secret. Susan Bennett's narration brings the characters to life, her voice shifting effortlessly between the Irish brogue of Maeve Fanning and the refined accent of her wealthy friend, Evelyn. What sets this audiobook apart is Tessaro's ability to create complex, relatable characters, even in the face of their own questionable decisions.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who's listened to countless historical fiction audiobooks, I can say with confidence that Rare Objects stands out. Susan Bennett's narration is exceptional, her ability to distinguish between characters and capture their essence is remarkable. The pacing is spot on, building tension and suspense until you're on the edge of your seat. However, I found the ending slightly rushed, leaving some threads unresolved. Despite this, Rare Objects is a gripping listen, filled with rich historical detail and compelling characters. It's a must-listen for fans of historical fiction, especially those who enjoy a good mystery.
