And Dangerous to Know

Rosalind Thorne Mystery, Book 3

De: Darcie Wilde

Narrado por: Pearl Hewitt

When the ladies of the ton of Regency London need discreet assistance, they turn to Rosalind Thorne - in these mysteries inspired by the novels of Jane Austen...

Trust is a delicate thing, and no one knows that better than Rosalind Thorne. Lady Melbourne has entrusted her with recovering a packet of highly sensitive private letters stolen from her desk. The contents of these letters hold great interest for the famous poet Lord Byron, who had carried on a notorious public affair with Lady Melbourne's daughter-in-law, the inconveniently unstable Lady Caroline Lamb. Rosalind is to take up residence in Melbourne House, posing as Lady Melbourne's confidential secretary. There, she must discover the thief and regain possession of the letters before any further scandal erupts.

However, Lady Melbourne omits a crucial detail. Rosalind learns from the Bow Street runner, Adam Harkness, that an unidentified woman was found dead in the courtyard of Melbourne House. The coroner has determined she was poisoned. Adam urges Rosalind to use her new position in the household to help solve the murder. As she begins to untangle a web of secrets and blackmail, Rosalind finds she must risk her own life to bring the desperate business to an end....

Good series

This was very good, but not as good as the first 2 books. I want MORE romance. Doesn't mean that I want steamy stuff, just more clean romance. Rosalind and Adam should at least hug a lot, and a couple of kisses would be nice. The plot was a little too complicated, but pretty good. I certainly did not guess who the killer and blackmailer was until the end. Wonderful characters.

Excellent Historical Detail

This was another good Rosalind Thorne story. my The description of Lord Byron and English society of 200 years ago was fascinating. The mystery was not quite as good with to me an abrupt ending. Still overall positive.

I love this main character!

Great story, characters and plot. Enough action to keep you on your toes! I’m planning to read the next one for sure!!

thumbs up

I love Ms Thorne, can't wait to hear more from this story line... impatiently waiting for more

Well written and Entertaining

This is a well written and entertaining mystery. Rosalind Thorne proves women are smart and capable even while following strict society rules. I love this series and wish the books would come faster.
