A review by wonderwomannz
Nightingale by Helen Harper

3.5

"Nightingale," the second installment in Helen Harper's series, picks up seamlessly from where "Hummingbird" left off. I was relieved to find that the pace didn't seem as fast this time around—or perhaps I've just gotten used to Harper's brisk storytelling style. Either way, it made for a more balanced and enjoyable experience. 

The spice level in this book is virtually non-existent, which might disappoint those looking for more romantic tension or steamy scenes, which was me.  I love me a steamy sexy book. 
However, the focus remains firmly on the plot, which continues to be engaging and full of twists. While character development is somewhat present, it still takes a backseat to the unfolding narrative. but the compelling plot kept me invested in the story. 

Ruth Urquhart once again delivers a delightful narration, and her Scottish accent adds a unique charm that enhances the listening experience. Her performance helps bring the characters and setting to life, making the audiobook a pleasure to listen to. 

"Nightingale" is a strong continuation of the series for those who enjoy plot-driven stories with a touch of humor and action.  I'm eager to see where the series goes next and see where the series ends.
