Acerca de esta escucha
Late nineteenth-century Newport, Rhode Island, is home to some of America's wealthiest citizens. For society reporter Emma Cross, a less well-heeled cousin to the illustrious Vanderbilts, trailing gossip and glamour will lead her straight into murder . . .
Emma's job is to take note of the real players off the field—Newport's well-bred elite. But the fashionable façade is breached when a woman demands to speak to the wife of Senator George Wetmore—until she is escorted off the grounds by the police.
The next morning, police detective Jesse Whyte asks Emma to meet him at the Wetmores's Bellevue Avenue home, Chateau-sur-Mer, where the senator's wife, Edith, has mysteriously asked to see her. Upon entering the mansion, Emma is confronted with a crime scene—the intruder from the polo match lies dead at the foot of a grand staircase.
Edith Wetmore implores Emma to use her reporter skills and her discretion to investigate. When Emma learns the victim was a prostitute—and pregnant—she wonders if the senator was being blackmailed. As Emma peels back layers of deception and family secrets, she may have met her match in a desperate killer who will trample anyone who gets in the way . . .

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both.

If it sometimes seems as though she was hiding behind the settee during a particularly fierce quarrel between a husband and his wife, it’s most likely because she was hiding behind the settee during their fierce quarrel.

Joan Bennett is a breath away from being a spinster. She’s had four seasons without a suitor. After reading a shockingly sensuous book, Fifty Ways to Sin, Joan decides perhaps it’s time to stop being proper and start being sinful, while she’s still young enough to enjoy it. And what better partner than her brother’s drinking mate, Viscount Burke? He seems the type to know how to give a lady a lascivious adventure.

Another outstanding historical mystery by Alyssa Maxwell!
Great story that kept me guessing. Enjoy this series. Love the characters. Love triangle predictable. Struggled with the change in narrator. Speaks way too fast.

Did NOT like reader, Laura Ezzo
Do NOT like the way Lauren Ezzo reads, she is different reader than the first three books by Alicia Maxwell. Her voice inflection goes up at the end of sentences and on the wrong phrases which is very disconcerting. She did not invoke the emotion that previous reader of Alicia Maxwell's other books has done. I almost I had to stop listening to the book it was so awkward sounding.

Narrator makes this hard to listen to
I’ve liked all the previous books in this series but this new reader makes it hard to like the story. She has an awkward cadence, like she didn’t realize the sentence continued on the next line or page. Her inflection seems forced, not natural. Not sure if I’ll listen to any more in the series if she’s reading.
