About this listen
2014. When skeletal remains are discovered in a bathtub concealed in a secret chamber in a London mansion, Quinn’s only clue is a Fabergé necklace that may have belonged to the victim. As she delves into the life of Valentina, a young Russian refugee who came to live in the house after the Russian Revolution, she’s reminded once again that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
1917. Wealthy, beautiful, and titled, Valentina has enjoyed a gilded existence, but the winds of change blow across Russia, forever sweeping away the life she knew and bringing unspeakable pain and loss. Thrust into the role of head of the family, Valentina quickly learns that not everyone can be trusted, and sometimes true love can be found in the most unexpected places.

Wow!
This story was absolutely riveting as I listened along…totally engrossed in both the present-day mystery involving Quinn as well as the 1917 mystery of exactly whose bones were found in the hidden bathtub and how and why that person met his untimely end. Ms. Shapiro’s “Echoes From the Past Series” is a great collection of stories that will intrigue those who love romantic mystery stories. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Another fascinating tale from the past
Irina Shapiro has enthralled me with the Echoes from the Past series along with the Wendy Wolfson narrator who tells the story.
Quinn Allenby and her unique abilities to read someone’s past from an object is fascinating, each draws you in and takes you into there life, there joys, sorrows, and the tragedy or misfortune the caused Quinn to be called into the circumstance to begin with.
I also enjoy hearing about Quinn’s life while she is trying to solve a case you see the joys and the sorrows she experiences.
I was given this audible book for a fair and honest review by the author thank you.

The Unseen
Irina Shapiro is a wonderful storyteller! I love the way she wrote this series. Each book has a view into the past through the archeologist,Dr. Quinn Allenby’s special gift. This book is about a young aristocrat, Valentina, who left Russia during the 1917 revolution with her mother, sister, and brother to live in England. Valentina’s story is heart wrenching as she assumes responsibility for her family’s survival.
The narration by Wendy Wolfson was perfect!
