Résumé de l'éditeur:

Dans les années 1810, à Lyme Regis, sur la côte du Dorset battue par les vents, Mary Anning découvre ses premiers fossiles et se passionne pour ces "prodigieuses créatures" dont l'existence remet en question toutes les théories sur la création du monde. Très vite, la jeune fille issue d'un milieu modeste se heurte aux préjugés de la communauté scientifique, exclusivement composée d'hommes, qui la cantonne dans un rôle de figuration. Mary Anning va trouver heureusement en Elizabeth Philpot, une vieille fille intelligente et acerbe, une alliée inattendue...

Avec une finesse qui rappelle Jane Austen, Tracy Chevalier raconte, dans Prodigieuses créatures, l'histoire d'une femme qui, bravant sa condition et sa classe sociale, fait l'une des plus grandes découvertes du XIXe siècle.

Publisher's Summary:

Scandal and Intrigue among Victorian Archaeologists

The Cornerstone of Deception, author Cheryl Simani's historical mystery novel, weaves an absorbing portrait of status and scandal in the Victorian period. Spanning the Tigris-Euphrates Rivers (Modern Iraq), Paris, London, and Northern Ireland, biblical truths, and imperial politics are caught in the whirl of ambition and greed. Rife with intrigue, duplicity, and romance, this spellbinding novel is certain to enthrall anyone interested in issues of the debate between science and religion, or who simply enjoy cracking a confounding case.

Members Reviews:

How Unfortunate

How unfortunate that the author listened to her friends and tried to write a novel around what is, undoubtedly, most interesting research into archeological crime.

How unfortunate that the author padded this research with a mind-numbing series of improbable "love stories" -- the women invariably of jaw-dropping beauty, meeting one-dimensional men in a series of silly "pure-chance" episodes designed, apparently, to show something of a good or evil nature.

How unfortunate that the author relies on "tell" instead of "show" -- entire plot-blocks laid out when one character explains years of back-story to someone else (delivered in British-accented monotone).

How unfortunate that the author never met a cliche she wouldn't use, sometimes more than once. I was so distracted by high school purple prose that I'd start cliche-counting and lose the story thread. How unfortunate that I didn't care enough to rewind.

And how unfortunate that the narrator, who has received positive reviews in other works, reels out these telenovela tales in flat monotone, often creating confusion about which character was speaking. Again, a distraction--I couldn't help recreating dialog in my head, hoping a more lively and realistic rendition would salvage the writing.

Perhaps all this perceived misfortune flows from my latest two "listens" -- "Analysis & Critique: How to Engage and Write About Anything" and the mind-shattering storytelling of "The Things They Carried."

Full Disclosure: I did not finish this book. Four hours in, I surrendered to the realization that my interest in its archeological core was overwhelmed by irritation. I'm putting it back on Audible's shelf.

Publisher's Summary:

Billie Challinor's mother dies during an air raid, but the child grows up confident that in her jazz musician father, Chas, she has the best dad in the world. They seek refuge from the London Blitz by moving to Leeds, where kindly landlady Liz Morris befriends them: the scarred, wisecracking man who isn't afraid to overstep the mark if the cause is a good one and his clever and resilient little girl.

Billie needs every ounce of courage she possesses when her father joins the army just before the D-Day landings and fails to return. Though Liz is happy to raise the child as her own, Billie is claimed by her Uncle Cedric, an outwardly respectable and prosperous solicitor. But he is also a ruthless criminal mastermind who will stop at nothing to secure the fortune to which Billie is sole heiress.

Confident of his superior strength and cunning, he foolishly overlooks the fact that she is her father's daughter: resourceful, quick witted, and ready to seize any chance she can to escape his deadly clutches and return to her beloved Aunt Liz.

Eid der Kreuzritterin

It was an interesting book although the inadequate proofing at least of the kindle version was annoying as it lead to many grammatical mix ups. The story kept my interest but the ending seemed to be almost unfinished.

Der Eid der Kreuzritterin: Historischer Roman (German Edition)

Sehr nett geschrieben, man kann sich gut in die Zeit hineinversetzen. Manches stimmt nicht mit der damaligen Zeit überein, aber es ist eben leichte Lektüre zum entspannen

interesting historical novel

Die Autorin hat sehr gut die Zeit der Kreuzzuege beschrieben. Besonders die der Kinderkreuzzuege. Sie schreibt eindrucksvoll und fesselnd. Ein lesenswerter historischer Roman.

Viel Lesestoff

der nicht langweilig wird. Die Geschichte ist super spannend, da sie die Kinder quer durch Europa führt. Das Buch ist absolut zu empfehlen.

Rough Irish Catholic history

I enjoyed Ms Bruning previous book about Calico -- one of the main character's granddaughter. I felt myself distracted by trying to establish the relationship from recent to a couple of generations back, dealing almost with two books paralleling each other.

Though the work contains basically fiction, I was drawn to facts that seemed quite historical -- Me not having much knowledge about the origins of Ireland. Nevertheless, the mutual killing of Catholics and Anglicans "for the glory of God" dates from such ancient times and has still prevailed to our recent decades.. And learning that Irish Catholic families were sold as slaves and sent to the United States just blew my mind.

I appreciated the light touch of paranormal that gave a nice twist to the story.

This is an interesting saga to follow.

Too long not worth it

I listened to this book and it was terrible. The story is so convoluted Too many characters that were never developed I struggled to listen to it. It was a waste of time and money

Publisher's Summary:

Jack Talent is tormented by the demons of his past. Though Jack loves his position in the SOS, he cannot forget what was done to him. And so he hunts down the remaining demons that tortured him and metes out his own brand of justice as the Bishop of Charing Cross. The only thing that soothes him is his secret visits to fellow agent Mary Chase.

But while something about Mary calms him, she is also his greatest torment, for she is a reminder of his worst crime - the night he lost his soul by taking her human life.

Mary Chase is now free. After years of service to the Ghosts in the Machine, she now assists the head of the SOS and is finally enjoying life - except for the one thorn in her side, Jack Talent. The temperamental shifter unsettles her and awakens a need she's never felt before.

But when a copycat killer begins to mimic the Bishop's signature and Jack is assigned to the case, Mary volunteers to join him, eager to unravel Jack's mysterious façade. Can Jack protect his secret - and his heart - from the one woman who could be his ultimate ruin?

Members Reviews:

They keep getting better! (WARNING! MIGHT BE SPOILERISH)

I will be honest - I started this series a bit reluctantly - I as a rule only read historical romance. Occasionally, I will read a historical romance with paranormal undertones. This series is set in Victorian England, but is heavy on the paranormal. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not - but OMG! I love this series!!! Each book I have read is better than the last!

Jack and Mary have been secondary characters throughout the series and I enjoyed the banter between them and wondered at its origin. Well, now I know!

*****SPOILER WARNING!*****

I read another review in which the reviewer absolutely hated this book - they thought that Jack was a hypocrite and Mary was a doormat.

I could not disagree more - I don't like to give away the plot of a book - my reviews generally are just my own likes/dislikes in the book - I do not want to spoil another readers experience. But that review almost made me skip this book and I saw in the comments that other people decided to pass on the book based on that review.

I would like to clarify. MAJOR SPOILERS:

1 - Jack did go to a prostitute - paid for by Ian - ONCE and he never slept with anyone else

2 - He never judged prostitutes - in fact he said he understood the need to make coin - his disgust was with the men who used the women.

3 - He NEVER called Mary a whore or anything remotely close to that. He was nasty to her - but with a reason

4 - Mary was not a doormat - when she found out why Jack was treating her the way he did - she walked out on him, only returning when she finally got the whole story.

I would urge people to give the book a chance - if you hate it - return it. But, if you have enjoyed this series as much as I have - you most definitely DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS BOOK!!!

This Series NEVER Disappoints

The story of Mary Chase and Jack Talent began in the last bookWinterblaze (Darkest London)and came into a well written story of intrigue, romance and sacrifice.

Mary Chase and Jack Talent have seemingly hated each other to anyone who watched them, they have been put together to work on a case of deaths of certain supernaturals in London. Talk about your love hate relationships but this is MUCH more than a romance.
