Throwback Thursday is hosted by Renee of It’s Book Talk. This meme was created to share old favorites and/or books published over a year ago. Today I’m going to be sharing an excellent mystery, A Man of Some Repute by Elizabeth Edmondson.
Why I chose this book:
I was astounded by it. This was an audiobook and I was impressed by the narration. As far as the book itself, it was the characters, the mystery, the incredible setting (it was set in a castle in rural England, I mean c’mon, awesome!). The main character, Hugo Hawksworth, was my first audiobook character crush. This book was just such a great listen and I remember feeling like this ….
See my review of it here.
I googled the author, intent on letting her know how much I enjoyed it. I was DEVASTATED to learn that she had died a few months before I’d read the book. Seriously, I was so sad when I learned that.
If Ms. Edmondson was still with us today, I’d tell her that I absolutely loved her book, and that it remains one of my favorites to this day. 💐

Thank you for visiting.

Oh wow, that really sucks about the author! At least we still have their books! What did you like about the Hugo character?

So true.
Hugo was so charismatic and charming. The audio narrator had a great voice that made his character come to life in the most gentlemanly way. Also, he was caring for his younger sister. How sweet is that?

Oh…and I forgot to mention that he had an injured leg and used a walking stick that made him even more distinguished. ☺️
