About this listen
Sarah Bennett doesn't remember the night her mother tumbled down the stairs at Bennett House, despite allegedly witnessing the fatal fall. There was talk of foul play, dark whispers, and sidelong glances, all aimed at Sarah, prompting her family to send her to The Laurels, an exclusive asylum in San Francisco, under a cloud of suspicion. Now, on the one-year anniversary of her mother's murder, Sarah has been summoned home. Convinced of her innocence, she returns to Bennett House, hoping to put the broken pieces of her life back together. But when another murder occurs shortly after her arrival, Sarah once again finds herself a suspect, as she is drawn into a web of suspicion and lies.
In order to clear her name, Sarah must remember what happened the fateful night her mother died. But as she works to regain her memory, the real murderer watches, ready to kill again to protect a dark family secret.

Good old fashioned story
If you could sum up The Spirit of Grace in three words, what would they be?
interesting, intriguing fast-moving
What did you like best about this story?
the slight supernatural element
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Sadly i think the performance didn't do the story justice. It was read with an uninterested and monotoned voice. She could have been reading the phone book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Couldn't say without a spoiler
Any additional comments?
I liked the setting, and the story. Fell short of 5 stars due to the fact i felt it could have been expanded. It all happened very fast without much fill in detail about the characters or the time set. Enjoyed it overall though

A great book
Would you consider the audio edition of The Spirit of Grace to be better than the print version?
Equally as good.
What did you like best about this story?
The mystery aspect to the story and the plot twists
Have you listened to any of Lillian Yves’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No, this is the first
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I became very caught up in the story, and therefore eager to know what more was to come.
Any additional comments?
An enjoyable murder mystery set in the time of WWII, and so therefore full of spies and intrigue, and there's a bit of romance thrown in for good measure.
I liked the plot twists, and although I thought I had worked out the mystery it turned out that I hadn't fully.
The story is very good as a stand-alone novel, though there is scope for the characters and story to be continued which indeed it does as this is the first book in the series.
The narrator was also very good and very listenable!
Can highly recommend.
