Acerca de esta escucha
The New York Times best-selling author of Otherwise Engaged and The Mystery Woman presents an all-new novel of intrigue and murder set against the backdrop of Victorian London.
The Kern Secretarial Agency provides reliable professional services to its wealthy clientele, and Anne Clifton was one of the finest women in Ursula Kern's employ. But Miss Clifton has met an untimely end - and Ursula is convinced it was not due to natural causes.
Archaeologist and adventurer Slater Roxton thinks Mrs. Kern is off her head to meddle in such dangerous business. Nevertheless, he seems sensible enough to Ursula, though she does find herself unnerved by his self-possession and unreadable green-gold eyes. If this mysterious widowed beauty insists on stirring the pot, Slater intends to remain close by as they venture into the dark side of polite society.
Together they must reveal the identity of a killer - and to achieve their goal they may need to reveal their deepest secrets to each other as well.

Historia
Beatrice Poole may be a vicar's daughter, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to the darker passions. Indeed, she knows enough about gothic terrors to have carved out a highly successful career penning "horrid novels." But now the talented authoress finds herself in the midst of an ominous adventure that rivals anything she's ever written.Her beloved Uncle Reggie is dead, Beatrice suspects that he was murdered - all because of his keen interest in a fabled treasure that may not even exist. Rumors abound that the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, said to give their possessor the most unnatural powers, have surfaced in London. Yet Beatrice needs more than rumors to uncover the truth. That's why she's braved the wilds of Devon to seek out a leading authority on antiquities and ancient legends: The famously eccentric, unquestionably reclusive, possibly dangerous Earl of Monkcrest, a man believed to dabble in the supernatural.But bearding the Mad Monk of Monkcrest in his den and dangling the possibility of uncovering a fabulous artifact before him may be the biggest mistake of Beatrice's life. For suddenly, she finds herself joined in an uneasy alliance with a man who is every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels.

Of course, handsome, wealthy Anthony Stalbridge couldn't possibly have had romantic intentions. The kiss was merely meant to distract the armed guard about to catch the two unlikely sleuths. After all, the only thing these two interlopers have in common is a passionate interest in uncovering the dastardly secrets of Mr. Hastings—a prominent member of society whom they suspect of murder.

Historia
There was no passion to break her heart, no love to risk and lose. Marrying her boss, prominent businessman Cormick Grayson, was a very reasonable proposition for a woman who'd been hurt in love before. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement. At first. But something wasn't right. Gray's eyes told her there was more to this than a polite, passionless marriage. But Gray's cool, impersonal distance left Amber wondering about the man she'd married. Amber never imagined she'd be the one demanding more, yearning to feel things she vowed she would never risk again.

Jayne Krentz is a good writer as much as I always look forward to her new releases she may need to take a break and renew her creative energy.
Easy to listen to
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
But the story itself was decent and I liked Slater and all of the supporting cast. This narrator isn't my favorite but she isn't the worst - although she sounded as if she was shouting whenever an American talked. that was weird. Although maybe that explains how the narrator did The Woman Who Knew Too Much - it was maybe the worst audio book ever.
All in all, this isn't the worst AQ book (side eye - Surrender), but it's nowhere near some of my favorites (Ravished, Dangerous, The Paid Companion, The River Knows, and most of the Burning Cove books).
Just okay

the voice of the narrator seemed to be the most anyone had bad to say about the story... Alright I didn't particularly like the new york accent for Mr Cobb...but it was ok and different enough to distinguish him from the other characters which in the end is what matters most to me in an audio book
i will say it was a good story, well written with lots of spunk (as usual). The bad guys were obvious almost from the start but the #1 villain was a guess... JAK/Amanda Quick did an excellent job of misdirection as well as leaving subtle clues as to who the real culprit was and what their individual motive was in the story... i love to guess, and am usually right... and was this time...but my guess waivered from time to time (good misdirection. and side paths)
all in all an excellent example of romantic/ murder mystery... i recommend this book
*note this book was very reminiscent of some of her earlier books ... wicked widow, lie by moonlight... don't look back (series), etc.
Good Story... Good Narration... kept me guessing

Setting: London, England
Genre: Victorian Romance/mystery/suspense
Things I liked about this book: I found both female and male protagonists likeable. Ursula Kern is the owner of the Kern Secretarial Agency which provides trained typist/stenographers to individuals. After being widowed and left destitute, she took a job as a companion in a wealthy household. After a scandal in the household, she left her position, re-invented herself, and opened the agency. Aside from her employees, she has no friends or family. She's independent and intelligent. I like that she doesn't default to damsel in distress around men. Slater Roxton is the acknowledged bastard of an actress and a nobleman. He is an archaeologist, but after a harrowing incident on an archaeological mission, he quit to become a recoverer of stolen artifacts. His late father made him trustee of the Roxton estate and guardian of the heir and spare so, due to these responsibilities, he has to give up artifact recovery. He isn't one of those "I can do it better because I have a penis" type of heroes. I found the basic plot enjoyable as well. One of Ursula's employees was found dead. The police said the death was from natural causes, but Ursula believes it was murder, and she thinks it is connected to Ann's assignment working for Lady Fullbrook. She left a one sentence long note in her unique shorthand which led Ursula to Ann's jewelry, steno notebook, and some seeds. Whodunit and why? The answers are revealed over the course of the book.
What I didn't like: There were a couple of tangents that didn't contribute to the forward motion of the plot. They weren't detailed enough to count as subplots. Just episodes that added nothing to the story. There was a secondary character introduced who brought nothing to plot development. Who he is and what he does could be omitted entirely and it would not affect the story at all. This is aside from the characters in the tangents mentioned.
As for the narration, Louise Jane Underwood did a fair job. The only problem I had was the working class accent she gave to Lord Fullbrook's American business partner. Sure, he was a criminal, but it would make more sense that an English nobleman would partner with someone of a higher class. There is nothing in the story indicating that he was of a much lower social position to Fullbrook.
