Summary
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.

An amazing series continues!
This instalment takes us back to the Russian Revolution ... Irina Shapiro certainly sets a good understanding of the country and times!
Whilst in contrast Quinns present day story continues with intrigue and fascinating twists and turns.
I can not recommend this series enough!

Past and Present
The Unseen by Irina Shapiro is probably my favorite book by the the author that I have listened to so far. I love this past/present story-line. 1917 Russian Revolution has intrigued me with the stories of Anastasia. Granted this book has nothing to do with Anastasia other than the time period. I was immediately pulled into Quinn's search for her sister, the walled off bathroom with the body in the tub, and the characters from the past. It's brilliant how the author weaves things together. The imagery is this book is well done, along with the details. I loved how the author included the suffragettes into this book, and how women's rights were so limited around 1920 in London. Wendy Wolfson's performance was spectacular. She has distinguishable voices for the various characters, and I loved her Russian accents. Echoes from the Past series are all standalone books, but one really gets the full effect listening to each individual book. I highly recommend both this book and the series. I cannot wait for the next one.

to go back in time
Irina is so well prepaired and correct in her historic books. that it is a joy to listen. it takes me back in time. you feel the dilemma and the heartache in her books, when She spinns the tale of a time in history, it is like you are there.
it is you Running from a russia in caos and revolution. it is you fighting for your family. And the narration is so well performed that it gives you that extra something to feel what happens.
I love the mix in this series, where we follow our psykic in present day and a new history in a every book.
I need more books like this.

Attention getting
This book continues the series but with a twist. It introduces a past in Russia.
In the effort to unravel the mystery of a skeleton discovered in a tub Quinn discovers a long and sordid history of the family that involves the family of the owner of a home where a reckless has been passed down. The story is very well done and keeps the listener in suspense throughout. The narration is very good. This entire series has been exceptional and very entertaining.

This series just keeps getting better!
I can’t say enough how much I love and enjoy this series! The historical part is fascinating and I’m ever thankful that I was born in the late 20th century. I’m no feminist, but the injustices of centuries ago make my blood boil. In this story, archeologist, Dr. Quinn Allenby, is investigating the discovery of a skeleton in a hidden bathroom. What she sees, through the use of an inherited faberge egg necklace, is the story of a young Russian woman, who was the daughter of a Count. The time is during WW1, when civil unrest between the ‘working ppl’ and the Russian monarchy turned deadly. Young Valentina is engaged to her childhood friend and love of her life, Alexie, but the planned celebration never comes to pass. When rebels break into their house, her father is killed, as well as Alexie, who came to their aid. Valentina, her mother, sister and brother travel to London, in search of her mother’s cousin. After several months of no response, and the small family barely surviving in a hovel, cousin Demetri arrives. Surely life will be better for Valentina and her family...it does...for a while...then Valentina’s life is shattered! No spoilers but I must say that it’s gut wrenching! Meanwhile, Quinn is searching for her twin sister, while adjusting to motherhood with a kindergartner and a baby.
This is another fantastic book in the series...each one is better than the last! The narrator is perfect for this series and does a fabulous job with all of the characters. Truly another ‘unputdownable’ book.
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
