Acerca de esta escucha
In a historical mystery for Downton Abbey fans, a society reporter covers a killer party in Gilded Age Newport.
Newport, Rhode Island, August 1895: She may be a less well-heeled relation, but as second cousin to millionaire patriarch Cornelius Vanderbilt, 21-year-old Emma Cross is on the guest list for a grand ball at the Breakers, the Vanderbilts' summer home. She also has a job to do - report on the event for the society page of the Newport Observer.
But Emma observes much more than glitz and gaiety when she witnesses a murder. The victim is Cornelius Vanderbilt's financial secretary, who plunges off a balcony faster than falling stock prices. Emma's black sheep brother Brady is found in Cornelius's bedroom passed out next to a bottle of bourbon and stolen plans for a new railroad line. Brady has barely come to before the police have arrested him for the murder. But Emma is sure someone is trying to railroad her brother and resolves to find the real killer at any cost....

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.

The shocking murder of Sir Henry Claybourne leaves Regency London shaken and horror-struck. But for genteel spinster Miss Emmeline St. Germaine, the crime slices far too close to home.

Did the man - or woman - who murdered the knight know of her visit? Her secret identity at risk, her reputation and life in jeopardy, Emmeline must solve the crime or face scandalous exposure and ruination for a crime she did not commit.

After receiving a distressing letter from a friend, Lady Anne Addison wastes no time in traveling to Yorkshire to offer whatever help she can. She has no idea what she'll find there, but she certainly wasn't expecting to be met by tales of a werewolf terrorizing the area - nor the dead body she discovers upon arriving. Driven by curiosity and a keen intelligence, Lady Anne dismisses the notion of such a beast, but she's nonetheless drawn into the mysteries by the secrecy surrounding her friend and the infuriating yet enticing Lord Darkefell.

His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monk’s efforts doubly difficult, since he’s forgotten his professional skills along with everything else.

Good
Overall good mystery and story. It took awhile to get into it but then I was hooked.
Emma is a unique person being related to the Vanderbilts but not reaping any of their fortune. The poor relation I guess. But she has a lot of spunk and tenacity to say the least!
Looking forward to more!

Great story line and narration
Loved the narrator that kept me intrigued in the story. The story was fascinating that I never predicted who the murder was, kept me on my toes, couldn’t wait to keep listening to it.

Fun read!
Enjoyable story, likeable heroine and luscious setting makes this a great listen. Must admit I kinda like that Emma character's spunk and internal dialogue about dating. Solid mystery coupled with Vanderbilt riches - I ordered the next book!

This book had everything I am looking for in a book. The characters were fantastic and endearing. The story line was perfect and kept my attention the entire way. In fact I can’t wait to start the next book in the series. The narrator was fantastic.

Narration too modern-American “professor”…
Too many words & syllables emphasized, as though each one needs to stand out as the most important.
This writing is more suited to the voices of Nicola Barber, Allison Larkin, Diana Bishop, Penelope Freeman, Susannah Tyrrell, etc. who can perform according to the language of 100+ years ago.

Modern Values in a Historic Setting
The writing is able, as is the narration, but there isn't even a touch of realism to the story. A modern, empowered heroine strains against the rigors of a small-minded society & everyone loves her for it. Blah, blah. Mystery is fine, if uninspired. Characters are shallow. Minimal descriptions of what might have been interesting settings. Very pert. Very preppy. Not terribly interesting.
