Summary

In award-winning author Ellen Hart's next riveting Jane Lawless mystery, Jane and Cordelia discover a body buried in the wall of a historic theater

Renowned theater director Cordelia Thorn is working to restore a historic theater in downtown Minneapolis that she and her actress sister, Octavia, recently bought. Cordelia has a vision for the playhouse's future, but the more she learns about the building, the more fascinated she becomes by its past. Nicknamed "The Old Deep and Dark" because of the Prohibition-era double murder that occurred in the basement - then a speakeasy - there are a wealth of secrets hidden inside its walls. And, to her shock and horror, Cordelia discovers that there is also one present-day body literally buried in a basement wall.

Cordelia immediately calls on her best friend, P.I. Jane Lawless. Although Jane is already in the thick of another investigation - she's embroiled in a well-known country-western singer's family scandal - she agrees to help Cordelia out on the side. But show-biz is a small world, and as Jane starts tracing the trails of two separate investigations, she's surprised to find they might not be as unconnected as she thought.

With The Old Deep and Dark, the latest installment in the award-winning Jane Lawless series, Ellen Hart has crafted another impeccably plotted, seamlessly written mystery.

Still a great story, But.,.

The Old Deep and Dark has everything you would expect from a Jane Lawless book in terms of story, but the narration definitely isn’t up to its old standard yet. As anyone who has listened to the series so far will know, the narrator changed in the last book, which was definitely a shock to the system! Christina Moore is certainly not a bad narrator, but I would definitely question wether she was the right choice to take over after the first TWENTY books in the series being perfectly narrated by Aimee Jolson. It seemed more like someone impersonating Jane, Cordelia and Co, rather than them coming across as fully living and breathing characters in their own right as before. The story on the other hand was Ellen Hart on top form, mixing dysfunctional family drama with historical golden era mystery. Can’t wait for the next book!

Ugh, the narration is bad.

Story let down by the narration. The narrator isn’t very good at doing different voices. They sound similar and slurred, almost like the character was drunk or had a problem with their dentures. Replacing original narrator was a mistake. :(
