Limelight was a great book. The author had clearly done her research about Victorian England and the mystery was intriguing but not too complicated to follow along with.
The narration was alright. I can't fault the narrator for her speech impediment, but I can for the somewhat wooden delivery of some lines.alexshouldbewriting 2025-10-02
