Elsie and her two best friends made a childhood vow to never marry. But when Elsie begins her first season in London, her mother presents her with an irresistible bargain: If she says yes to each and every man's invitations and still remains unattached by the end of the season, she will receive her inheritance and become a free woman. She's thrown into the spotlight by increasing attention in the newspaper gossip articles. Keeping her end of the bargain seems impossible - especially when her best friend's tyrant of a brother begins to make advances that Elsie literally cannot refuse.

Enjoyable story.

I enjoyed the plot, but the narration was irritating. Almost monotone, with strange sentence endings as if asking a question when it was actually a statement.
I gave up on listening and finished by reading. This isn’t the first book I have purchased with this narrator, but it will definitely be the last. It was distracting.

A favorite.

Great narration. This has an unusual romance for a Heyer, with a mystery thrown in. As usual, wonderful secondary characters, and plenty of humor.

The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine is another mystifying manor-house stumper for Wodehousian bon-vivant and problem-solver Anty Boisjoly, when his clubmate asks him to determine who died first after a duel is fought in a locked room. The untold riches of the Tenpenny Tontine are in the balance, but the stakes only get higher when Anty determines that, duel or not, this was a case of murder.

I think each book gets better. I don’t know how PJ does it, because the first was excellent. I read the books before they were available on Audible. They were so much fun that I didn’t hesitate to get the Audible as well. Excellent narration, too.

Excellent example of language, manners, and customs. The plot was unusual. Narrator did a good job with the different characters and accents. This is the second book in the series I have read. Very enjoyable.

A little disappointing
Revisado: 01-10-15
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Only if the friend had previously read the rest of the series. I don't think Flavia's character quirkiness is explained well enough.
Would you recommend As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust to your friends? Why or why not?
I agree with several other reviews. There was something lacking in the flow. Too much "not now", "I can't tell you that", etc. The ending was abrupt, as well. What was the point of the school? Flavia was there for what, a week? Two? Frankly, it left me with more questions than answers.
Have you listened to any of Jayne Entwistle’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Jayne Entwistle is perfect, as usual. Even though I own the books to read, it is much better to listen to Jayne's interpretation. She puts in the nuances and British accent that my mind can't quite do.
Do you think As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
There should definitely be another book. Did Flavia actually learn anything at the school? Has she matured in any way? What is going to happen to Flavia when she returns to Buckshaw? How will the financial crisis be resolved? Will Feely and Daphne be nicer? Inquiring minds want to know.
