Violet and the Bow Street Runner

Garland Cousins, Book 2

De: Emily Larkin

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

A nosy duke’s daughter and a sharp-eyed Bow Street Runner join forces to solve a rather peculiar crime.

Violet Garland may be a duke’s daughter, but she has a strong streak of daredevil. What she wants most in life is adventure—and when she spots a Bow Street Runner among the ton, she knows she’s finally found it. She’ll help the investigator track down his villain, whether he wishes her to or not!

Bow Street Principal Officer Perry Wintersmith does not want any assistance, especially from a female as persistent and annoying as Lady Violet Garland. Although Lady Violet does possess a most uncommon talent and she is exceptionally good at following people…

Perhaps he ought to accept her offer of help? Together they might be able to unravel a rather perplexing mystery—and Perry may just avoid falling off any roofs.

Take one adventure-seeking duke’s daughter, one solitary Bow Street Runner, a strange series of thefts, a dash of magic, a sprinkling of naughty drawings, and what do you have? A romp of a Regency romance that will sweep you through London’s alleyways and over its rooftops, with detours into cupboards, attics, bandboxes, and ballrooms.

Contains mature themes. A Regency romance with steamy love scenes.

Performed by Audie-winning narrator Rosalyn Landor.

Just ok

I’ve read all the previous godmother novels, with the exception of the gay version. I really enjoyed those. I didn’t particularly care for Violet , quite a selfish girl. This one was a bit drawn out and by the end I really didn’t care . As usual Rosalyn Landor was excellent ! All in all if given the chance I’d skip this one

Violet always got her own way

Maybe it was just justified, by it after arguing, Violet always got her way! Which I guess was the author's way of saying it was justified. I wondered, though, what would happen if she didn't get her way, at one time! But we never found out because she's did always get her way! Even in the fact of their marriage. Did Perry really mind? I guess not. As the only thing he did begin with getting his own way( his rejoining his regiment and going back to India) Violet's family was able to talk him out of. Did that make him a wooce - I'll let the reader decide that!
