De: Katharine Schellman

Narrado por: Henrietta Meire

Sometimes danger lurks in plain sight, and in the cutthroat London Season, socialite Lily Adler must race against time to catch a killer.

Fans of Bridgerton will delight in this Regency-era mystery featuring an intrepid sleuth, plenty of intrigue, and a touch of romance.

London, 1817. The London Season is beginning once more, and Lily Adler’s return to her home on Half Moon Street feels different this year. No longer a recent widow, she has a life and friends waiting for her. Lily also has new responsibilities in the form of her protégée Amelia, the sister of her longtime friend Jack Hartley, who is escaping her own brush with scandal and murder.

It doesn’t take long for Lily’s growing reputation as a lady of quality who can discreetly find what is missing or solve what is puzzling to bring a desperate young woman to her doorstep. But helping her means unraveling a tangled web of family secrets. Soon, a missing will, a dead body and the threat of blackmail leave Lily facing danger every way she turns.

The glittering society of Mayfair conceals many secrets, and the back alleys of London hide even more. Lily Adler will need to find the connection between them quickly if she wants to stop a killer before it’s too late.

I enjoyed this one, maybe the most out of all the books in this series!

Engaging story

I loved this series made all the better by the reader and may need to listen to the series again. I truly hope there are more to come.

Best of Adler series - hope more!

I adore this series of 5 books so far. I do hope there are more. The plots are excellent, and the characters are multi-faceted. I also love all the supporting characters as well as the main ones: Lily and Jack... A little romance amid the imaginative murder plots are a good thing. Also love the narrator, who's perfect! Please retain her for any future books!!

Love Lily Adler

The Lily Adler series is one of my absolute favorites! I would be devastated if there weren’t another. I can’t explain why they’re my favorite books, they’re just the books I repeatedly read and keep reading. They’re my comfort books.
