Green's last published detective novel, The Step on the Stair is typical of her earlier mysteries. Quenton is in love with Orpha, and thinks their marriage has been approved by her guardian. Imagine his shock when her engagement to Edgar is announced. Jealousy rears its ugly head. But then Quenton is made aware of gossip and superstition, which may affect his position in the household. Finding the lost will after their uncle's death could answer all their questions. (11 hr 15 min)

Reviews

Another good AKG story.


(5 stars)

It is my understanding that this was AKGs last book. A bit long but good. It has been interesting to follow her career from horse and buggy to automobiles with the changing of lighting from lanterns and gas lights to electric lights. I did enjoy this book however there were times that I had to re-listen to certain chapters. I have found that I can learn to understand people that have strong accents by just listening a few times until I understand. Also by using the speed control (on my app it is a rabbit icon in the upper right hand corner) to slow down people that talk too fast and speed up those that read too slow. It makes understanding certain readers much easier.


(3 stars)

I found this book difficult to get through because it was so long and rambling. It was much too long and needed some editing to help the story flow more. I’m relieved that it’s over actually! It was interesting, but not very compelling.
