Resumen del Editor

My name is Lenora Fletcher. And I can communicate with the dead.

Lenora expected her unique ability would condemn her to a life of solitude, shunned by society. But when she receives an unexpected marriage proposal hinging on it, Lenora is shocked. All she must do in exchange for the life of a duchess is use her communicative skills to determine the reason for the former Duchess of Blackmoore’s suicide.

Beyond the strange blackening on the stones of Blackmoore Castle, Lenora discovers another darkness lurks in her new Scottish Highlands home. The secrets housed within the castle walls chill Lenora to the bone...and threaten her own life.

Will Lenora discover the hidden truth behind the death of the former duchess? Or will she, too, fall prey to a similar fate?

Wonderful touching paranormal romance*

I loved this story from beginning to end! Even though the main character comes from a sad and abusive background she always remains a lady of high standing even if some of her childhood mischievousness comes out when no one is aware. After all she has a paranormal mystery to solve within the castle walls she is surprised to find herself within. How can one do that without curiosity? This is a lovely story of love friendship and intrigue. At first I was throne off by the obvious older womans voice when it was an 18 year old girl speaking until I realized the woman was speaking of a story in her past. I didn't want to leave my time spent with these characters. I hope she will be telling us of some more intriguing situations in her life to come.

Death of a Duchess

Liz Gentle does a masterful job with her narration of Death of a Duchess: A Duchess of Blackmoore Mystery series. Nellie H. Steele writes with a passion that creates wonderfully, special characters set in an interesting paranormal mystery plot. Highly recommend to Regency Mystery lovers.

Excruciatingly Wonderful Story!

Well written. I devoured it. The Duke was unrealistically good, but it didn't detract, rather, he was a good role model of what a true man should be. Lenora is a little too self-effacing, but still a lovely, strong heorine. I'm rushing off to get the next book in the series!

A very entertaining action packed mystery!

My first listen by this author. I was pleasantly surprised! The storyline was intriguing and a little spooky... in a gothic sort of way. I enjoyed every word of it... From her very painful past to being in a home where she felt she had a purpose. That purpose to begin with starts the mystery and mayhem... I recommend this audible!

frustrating

it's probably accurate, but the readiness to shush women ( every little thing is "shall we call the doctor or you must rest" as if women were spun glass) is beyond annoying. ( historically, there were plenty of strong women. Empress Maude and queen elanore being two) and it doesn't match up with the Duke accepting almost instantly some uncommon social behavior (the premise for the story. adoptions, brothel)... and the main character seems rather slow on the uptake.

brilliant!

this is one of the best books i have listened to in a very long time! The narration was outstanding.

A good story

Predictable, but a good story, told well. I will look for other books by this author, as found this enjoyable.

Death of a Duchess is hard to put down!

Absolutely Wonderful storytelling. Such a unique approach to a murder mystery. I am looking forward to the next book.

Great story

I loved this book. The narrator was fantastic. I am looking forward to the next books in the series.

Just OK

The storyline was so so and very predictable. Seemed to drag on when telling of her past. The performance was not bad.
