About this listen
Between ornate bridal gown fittings and meetings with Lyndy's distant relatives, Stella finally feels less like an out-of-place American and more like a respected aristocrat. Everything changes as the arrival of an anonymous gift and return of her overbearing father cast a dark shadow over the festivities, conjuring difficult memories and new fears....
Tensions intensify when a daytrip to Southampton ends with a suspicious stranger getting trampled by a horse-drawn cab. Before anyone can explain why the victim possessed a newspaper clipping about the upcoming ceremony at Morrington Hall, tragedy strikes again, this time resulting in a murder that turns Stella's world completely upside down while implicating one of Lyndy's well-regarded family members....
Facing loss, postponed nuptials, and uncertain threats, Stella and Lyndy rush to connect two very different crimes and identify the guilty culprit hiding among elite wedding guests. But as the couple blows the lid off of scandalous secrets, they realize that catching this killer - and living to tell the tale - may prove as impossible as closing the class divide.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 103
London’s bright young things are partying, Soho’s nightlife is buzzing, and Augusta Peel is hiding in her basement. She has a reason to hide there: it’s home to her Bloomsbury workshop where she repairs old, neglected books. After a busy time during the war, all Augusta wants is peace and quiet. But events take a turn when Augusta agrees to chaperone nineteen-year-old Harriet Jones on a date. Failing to get her home on time, she ends up in a riotous nightclub. She can’t imagine the evening getting much worse when the police raid it. But then the murder happens.

The young man with the shock of white-blond hair lay spread-eagled on the floor, surrounded by fallen books. His hand reached out to the scattered pages, as though he was trying to tell her something. But who is he? How did he come to be killed in Flora’s ordinary little bookshop? Flora finds out he was staying at the Priory Hotel, and when the gardener suddenly dies in its beautiful grounds only a few days later, she is certain that something untoward is happening in her quiet village by the sea.

The year is 1920: Flying in the face of convention, legendary American adventuress Beryl Helliwell never fails to surprise and shock. The last thing her adoring public would expect is that she craves some peace and quiet. The humdrum hamlet of Walmsley Parva in the English countryside seems just the ticket. And, honestly, until America comes to its senses and repeals Prohibition, Beryl has no intention of returning stateside and subjecting herself to bathtub gin.

Freedom and Folly!
So many good motives and suspects, I never once felt certain about whodunnit until the end. Can’t wait for another romp with Stella and Lyndy!

Enjoying the series
I continue to enjoy the series. The leading characters and their romance are enjoyable, and it is particularly interesting in this entry to watch the relationship between Stella and her future in-laws evolve.
The narrator is very good, but she mispronounces several words, which really is inexcusable. In at least one spot, either she uses the wrong word or the writer chose the wrong one. Editors should catch these things.

Enjoyable mystery
Stella and Lindy keep getting better. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. I like the mysteries and the Inspector. Stella's interaction with the staff and how their opinion has shifted is fun to follow. I also like Lindy's dedication to Stella and how he has evolved since the first book. The mysteries are good. The narration is excellent. I find the narrator to be relaxing to listen to. Good pacing and accents. I listened at 1.15x.

It's a ringer
Wonderful mystery woven around race horse trading and the integrity of horse racing.
Interesting set of characters make the story diverse.

Thrilling!
Such an exciting and endearing story! It really sweeps you along, even with a few surprises. I do hope we’ve seen an end of Stella and Lyndy doubting each other, though. That gets distracting and annoying.
