Death Comes to London

Kurland St. Mary Mystery Series, Book 2

De: Catherine Lloyd

Narrado por: Susannah Tyrrell

Murder makes a debut on the London social scene in this Regency-era mystery by the author of Death Comes to the Village.

With the reluctant blessings of their father, the rector of Kurland St. Mary, Lucy Harrington and her sister Anna leave home for a social season in London. At the same time, Lucy's special friend Major Robert Kurland is summoned to the city to accept a baronetcy for his wartime heroism.

Amidst the dizzying whirl of balls and formal dinners, the focus shifts from mixing and matchmaking to murder when the dowager Countess of Broughton, the mother of an old army friend of Robert, drops dead. When it's revealed she's been poisoned, Robert's former betrothed, Miss Chingford, is accused, and she in turn points a finger at Anna. To protect her sister, Lucy enlists Robert's aid in drawing out the true culprit.

But with suspects ranging from resentful rivals and embittered family members to the toast of the ton, it will take all their sleuthing skills to unmask the poisoner before more trouble is stirred up....

Really Enjoyable

This series reminds me of Agatha Christie novels. They keep me entertained. I enjoy the characters and the stories. I look forward to knowing what will happen next.

Enjoyable

Second installment of the series this one is less gothique , the performance and the story more enjoyable.

Great

Another great one but very tangled! A trip to London for the season definitely does not turn out as expected.

Cannot wait for the next!

Great characters and twisty plots

Enjoyed the characters and plot twists. Only issue is next audible book 3 not available in my region but every other book in the series is!

did not disappoint!

after finishing the first book, I was delighted to read book 2, and I wasn’t disappointed. Lots of little twist and turns, although I knew who the bad guy was all along 😌 it was still fun to listen to the mystery unwind. Getting ready to start book 3.

History meets an independent woman !

This is the 3rd book in the Catherine Lloyd series, "Death comes to..." and I am STILL entertained! The "rules" of courtship are so demeaning to women it is a wonder that the upper class didn't go extinct!

Another good one

Even though I sometimes had trouble keeping track of who was whom, this was still a good mystery with multiple layers.
