A Useful Woman by Darcie Wilde

It might be me? I don't mind a slow moving mystery, but I just could not get into this. I may have felt differently if it had been told entirely from Rosalind's perspective or the POVs had varied more; instead, the other character's perspective's really teased me and I wanted more time with them (especially Adam & also Honoria, who charmed me despite herself). While I could see the series' potential, I didn't like the first enough to stick with it, especially when I see the summaries.

Also, with the audiobook: the narrator does this weird thing where people either sneer or dramatically whisper things all the time, which is annoying, and sometimes you can't tell whether they're saying something to another person or having some kind of internal revelation. It's annoying.
