Resumen del Editor

Newly married Frances Hazelton, formerly the Countess of Harleigh, should be planning her honeymoon. Instead, she’s unmasking a murderer among the upper crust …

With her new husband George busy on a special mission for the British Museum, Frances has taken on an assignment of her own. The dowager Viscountess Wingate needs someone to sponsor her niece, Kate, for presentation to Queen Victoria. Frances—who understands society’s quirks and constraints as only an outsider can—is the perfect candidate.

Kate is charming and intelligent, though perhaps not quite as sheltered as she might first appear. More worrying to Frances is the viscountess’s sudden deterioration. The usually formidable dowager has become shockingly frail, and Frances suspects someone may be drugging her. The spotlight falls on Kate, who stands to inherit if her aunt passes, yet there are plenty of other likely candidates within the dowager’s household, both above and below stairs.

Joining forces with her beloved George, Frances comes to believe that the late viscount, too, was targeted. And with the dowager seeming to be in greater danger every day, they must flush out the villain before she follows in her husband’s footsteps, directly to the grave …

Love this series!

Freeman and Zimmerman have done it again. Excellent story. Excellent narration. I hope there is another book coming soon!

A fun series!

Lady Harley pulls off ameture investigations with grace and wit. Enjoy the characters and the series. Looking forward to the next book!!

Amazing!

I waited a long time for this one, and it did not disappoint! If you are looking for a cozy mystery this is what you need!

Bit weaker than the others, still enjoyable

This story was a little slower and flatter than the previous books in the series. Most of it took place inside one room in a house. Almost *too* cozy, lol.

Wonderful characters and great narration!

I’ve read the hard copy version of the other books and really enjoyed the stories. This is my first time listening to one of these books and I have to say that the narrator made the story even more enjoyable. Looking forward to the one.

A clever believable mystery

I have been totally enchanted by this series. The characters are clever, believable, and witty. The heroine does not do stupid things as most mystery heroines do. The narrator is perfect and really captures the characters.

Delightful & On Point

I love the Countess books. This is no exception. It’s a light read with good twists and turns. Ms. Zimmerman’s performance is perfect. So fun.

Wonderful Story line

Great character development and wonderful plot! I look forward to the next one in this series.

Such a Fun Cozy Mystery!

I’ve really enjoyed this book series so far! It’s very entertaining. The stories are great, and thankfully aren’t full of cursing, graphic sex , or violence. (Not that I don’t listen to lots of books that do, but it’s nice that this series doesn’t.)

Great story and narration.

Ms. Freeman delivers a great story which has been well researched and continues to develop the main protagonist France and the supporting characters. It was rare to feel and understand how society worked then.

The narrator Sarah Zimmerman does an amazing job. When I read any of the books now, it is Sarah's voice I hear.

This is a wonderful cozy series. If you are looking for something new, this series will not disappoint.
