Who's Sorry Now?

By: Maggie Robinson

Narrated by: Gemma Dawson

London,1925. Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Devenand Hunter finds himself in the middle of a series of upper-class deaths in London. Bright young people are being extinguished in their favorite night spots, from a sleazy private jazz club to the Savoy ballroom. Dev knows just the person to help him navigate the treacherous society waters: Lady Adelaide Compton, a marquess's daughter and widow of a Great War hero. Unfortunately, he has put her in jeopardy once before, nearly leading him to turn in his warrant card.

But when her sister is nearly one of the victims, Addie turns to Mr. Hunter, offering her help, and it soon becomes clear that the two of them working together again could lead to much more than merely solving crime.

Humor

The unlikely relationship between Addie and her “ghost” husband is delightful and adds a lighthearted bit to the listening.

Who is the killer?

I am loving this series! At first I thought the ghost might be silly but it is not! Humor and suspense. Love the characters and narrative perfect!

Good read!

Addie is a widow whose husband was brave in the Great War but became a real bounder and died in a motor accident. Now he returns as a ghost and reluctantly works to keep Addie safe so he can move on. Meanwhile he is driving her nutz. Especially as she is finding the local police detective entirely too interesting. This time most of the goings on are in London where she is expected to chaperone her younger sister who only wants to go about to all of the clubs that cater to the younger set. And then there are a series of poisonings. All the while there is a bit of major robberies being pulled off by a gang of young women. The characters are all a bit wacky and the story moves along quickly. Loved it as much as the first in series!
I found the audio on sale and as it is narrated by Gemma Dawson, I chose audio.

Good characters

Too many characters to identify like a brief unnecessary diversion hard to get to know them or picture what they looked like
