Acerca de esta escucha

London 1815. Although newly widowed Lily Adler is returning to a society that frowns on independent women, she is determined to create a meaningful life for herself even without a husband. She's no stranger to the glittering world of London's upper crust. At a ball thrown by her oldest friend, Lady Walter, she expects the scandal, gossip, and secrets. What she doesn't expect is the dead body in Lady Walter's garden.

Lily overheard the man just minutes before he was shot: young, desperate, and attempting blackmail. But she's willing to leave the matter to the local constables - until Lord Walter bribes the investigating magistrate to drop the case. Stunned and confused, Lily realizes she's the only one with the key to catching the killer.

Aided by a roguish navy captain and a mysterious heiress from the West Indies, Lily sets out to discover whether her friend's husband is mixed up in blackmail and murder. The unlikely team tries to conceal their investigation behind the whirl of London's social season, but the dead man knew secrets about people with power. Secrets that they would kill to keep hidden. Now, Lily will have to uncover the truth - before she becomes the murderer's next target.

EXCELLENT READ

LOVED THIS BOOK. THE CHARACTERS ARE CAPTIVATING, AND THE MOMENTS OF HUMOR SLIPPED IN AT JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT. THE STORY WAS INTRIGUING, AND, YES, WE CAN ALL FEEL SUPERIOR, FROM TIME TO TIME, AT HOW MUCH LESS MATERIALISTIC AND ARTIFICIAL WE ARE TODAY. (IF YOU REALLY THINK SO) I CANNOT WAIT TO READ BOOK 2.

Limited enthusiasm

I'll admit that things picked up enough by thd end that I'd be interested in a sequel. However, I found the book somewhat a slog overall. Lily herself seemed rather harsh and self-important much of the time; secondary characters were well-developed. Had trouble with the co-dependent relationship between her and Jack. Wasn't a real fan of the audio narration, which highlighted Lily's brittle behavior, with Jack's voice a bit grating.

A stimulating read/listen

I was blessed to listen to this book while taking my daily walk. I would get engrossed in the story and pushed my walk to the max. so not only was it a great diversion in this time of isolation, it was a great stimulus to better health!!

I enjoyed the book.

I was surprised to find this book being the authors first.
I felt the characters likeable. The storyline engaging.
The narrator, well I have had better. but she made the lead heroine stilted. and harsh. But it wasn't enough to make me stop listening as other harsh reviewers as stated. I think she did OK. The accents seemed forced and the men kind of sounded the same a bit. But ok.
New narrator? it did get better at the end with the easing of the main characters harshness.

Overall, a great first book.

Congratulations on that.

I will definitely be listening to book two, plus more to come I hope.

Thank you.

Good series intro

I actually listened to book 2 first, not knowing it was part of a series. I enjoyed coming back to the start of the series and learning how the various relationships started. Good Victorian mystery!

Good plot

I liked the story but not the narrator. Also this is book 1, I have listen to book3 then 2 not realizing the sequence, regardless book 1 is a much better story than next 2 books, plus the narrator's voice for a continued listening is not pleasing (more like barely tolerable) .
