A Newlywed's Guide to Fortune and Murder

Countess of Harleigh Mysteries, Book 6

De: Dianne Freeman

Narrado por: Sarah Zimmerman

Newly married Frances Hazelton, formerly the Countess of Harleigh, should be planning her honeymoon. Instead, she’s unmasking a murderer among the upper crust …

With her new husband George busy on a special mission for the British Museum, Frances has taken on an assignment of her own. The dowager Viscountess Wingate needs someone to sponsor her niece, Kate, for presentation to Queen Victoria. Frances—who understands society’s quirks and constraints as only an outsider can—is the perfect candidate.

Kate is charming and intelligent, though perhaps not quite as sheltered as she might first appear. More worrying to Frances is the viscountess’s sudden deterioration. The usually formidable dowager has become shockingly frail, and Frances suspects someone may be drugging her. The spotlight falls on Kate, who stands to inherit if her aunt passes, yet there are plenty of other likely candidates within the dowager’s household, both above and below stairs.

Joining forces with her beloved George, Frances comes to believe that the late viscount, too, was targeted. And with the dowager seeming to be in greater danger every day, they must flush out the villain before she follows in her husband’s footsteps, directly to the grave …

Pleasant read, but...

I didn't like that there seemed to not be any clues until the end to help piece together who did it.

A Great Puzzle

Lots of questionable things going on and lots of people who could be causing all sorts of problems. Lots of red herrings to challenge you.

Love this series!

Freeman and Zimmerman have done it again. Excellent story. Excellent narration. I hope there is another book coming soon!

love the characters, the mystery & putting all the clues together!!!

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series and look forward to the next book (hopefully soon) in this series!!!
I've already recommended this series to several friends!!!

Amazing!

I waited a long time for this one, and it did not disappoint! If you are looking for a cozy mystery this is what you need!

Bit weaker than the others, still enjoyable

This story was a little slower and flatter than the previous books in the series. Most of it took place inside one room in a house. Almost *too* cozy, lol.

Enjoyabe.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The writing was great. Even though ti's was a little long, it held NY interest. I enjoyed trying g to figure out who the killer(s) was. The performance was also great.

Wonderful characters and great narration!

I’ve read the hard copy version of the other books and really enjoyed the stories. This is my first time listening to one of these books and I have to say that the narrator made the story even more enjoyable. Looking forward to the one.

Another fun episode with Frances and George

The author cleverly, weaves together, humor, and interesting characters to solve another mystery. I love that these books in the series are PG and don’t include inappropriate aspects. I can’t wait for the next installment when hopefully Francis and George finally get to go on their wedding trip!

Dependable source of entertainment

I can always count on this series for a great story that holds my attention throughout.
The characters and their situations are engaging.
Thanks for the break they provide.
