The Kill Fee

Poppy Denby Investigates, Book 2

De: Fiona Veitch Smith

Narrado por: Helen Keeley

Poppy Denby, Arts and Entertainment Editor at The Daily Globe, covers an exhibition of Russian art, hosted by White Russian refugees, including members of the surviving exiled Romanov royal family.

There is an armed robbery, a guard is shot, and the largest Faberge egg in the collection is stolen. The egg itself is valuable, but more so are the secrets it contains within - secrets that could threaten major political powers.

Suspects are aplenty, including the former keeper of the Faberge egg, a Russian Princess called Selena Romanova Yusopova. The interim Bolshevik Russian ambassador, Vasili Safin, inserts himself into the investigation, as he believes the egg - and the other treasures - should all be restored to the Russian people.

Poppy, her editor Rollo, press photographer Daniel and the other staff of the Globe are delighted to be once again in the middle of a sensational story. But soon the investigation takes a dark turn when another body is found and an employee of the newspaper becomes a suspect. The race is on to find both the key and the egg - can they be found before the killer strikes again?

Great story!

Happy I found this author. NOT a fluffy cosy forgettable mystery. This is very interesting and pulled me in.

Truly Excellent...!!!

you will have to pay attention as there are multiple moving parts throughout this well written excellently narrated story. especially if you are not familiar with Russian sounding names. I virtually could not stop listening as the narrative visuals and intrigue continue to Corkscrew forward. this is a great series🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Engaging as a cozy with on point historical fiction

I’m really enjoying this series so far. I thought it would be just another cozy mystery which of itself is well written, but the strong dose of historical fiction is extremely well done.
