An Act of Villainy

De: Ashley Weaver

Narrado por: Alison Larkin

Walking through London's West End after a night at the theater, Amory Ames and her husband Milo run into some old friends: wealthy investor and former actor Gerard Holloway and his wife, Georgina. When Holloway invites them to the dress rehearsal of the new play he's directing, Amory readily accepts.

However, Amory is shocked to learn that Holloway has cast his mistress, Flora Bell, in the lead role. Furthermore, the casual invitation is not what it seems - he admits to Amory and Milo that Flora has been receiving threatening letters, and he needs their help in finding the mysterious sender.

Despite Amory's conflicting feelings, her curiosity gets the better of her, and she begins to make inquiries. It quickly becomes clear that each member of the cast has reason to resent Flora - and with a group so skilled in the art of deception, it isn't easy to separate truth from illusion. When the vague threats escalate, the scene is set for murder, and Amory and Milo must find the killer before the final curtain falls.

Mystery Maven

Best entry yet. Totally no clue to the ending and now the next installment to see how the new puzzle is built and resolved. Highly recommend.

Great twist!

Love Ashley Weaver’s tales and her superb way with words, and descriptions making the stories come alive!

This series gets better and better

Ashley Weaver spins a wonderful and suspenseful tale in the latest Amory Ames novel, and the narrator is absolutely spot on. Loved this book!

Creative ending!

Thoroughly enjoyable characters & narrator. The story was nicely told, though not necessarily realistic. The mystery was not so mysterious, or foreseeable, as not many clues were available to the reader…

That said, I imagine other readers will also be torn between 2 suspects & guess, or semi-guess, whodunnit. You’d have to reeeeally pick apart every backstory, statement, & tidbit of gossip (which I always do) to maaaaybe guess the motive.

The series is charming & worthy of a read/listen.
More from this author, please♥️

Liking this series

The story was good and had a strong ending with a twist at the end. Milo is growing on me. Enjoying the series!

Entertaining Read With A Twist

I love this series. Set in 1930s England, Amory and Milo are one of my favorite sleuthing couples, the perfect combination of sophistication and edgy romance, not to mention investigative skills. I read a lot of mysteries, but the twist in this book when all the parties are gathered in a very Agatha Christie-ish scene is a stunner. I cannot wait until the next book.
