De: Carla Simpson

Narrado por: Bronwen Price

London, 1889—Murder, mystery, and two people in a most unlikely partnership.

She's an unconventional lady who has traveled the world, practices the art of self-defense most excellently, and has an interesting tattoo in—ahem—a very unusual place.

He's a former member of the Metropolitan Police, now a private investigator, who grew up on the poverty-ridden streets of Edinburgh and has worked the dangerous back alleys of London's notorious East End.

A vicious murder brings them together in a race against time that takes them from the sordid back streets of London into the elite private clubs of the powerful and rich. They must find the killer before he strikes again and prevent a deadly scheme. A scandalous affair, deceptions, and secrets will challenge what they know and what they believe.

Come along as the lady and the detective join forces in an amazing time of new inventions, startling discoveries, and unexpected revelations. A young woman who doesn't rely on anyone is forced to trust the irascible Scot who is as tough as they come and just might learn a thing or two from her...if they don't end up dead!

Way too long & involved but decent.

Feel like it was waaaay too long and complicated….get tired of listening by the end. Did keep me entertained!

Terrible Main Character

The female MC was obnoxious and very foolish. I have to like a character to really enjoy the book.
I stopped caring half way through, so just skimmed to the end.
Not going to continue with the series, as it more of the same.
Good narrator and would love moare books read by her.

Enjoyed the story

I liked conversation back and forth between the characters. Loved the time period. The reader did a wonderful job voicing the different characters.

Get on wit it

Too convoluted! Not easy to listen to. just took too long to get to the interesting part of the story. Skip to the end so I could find out what happened to his sister.

Now I have to listen to the others.....

kept my attention. well written and narration was fantastic....haven't been able to find a story that kept my attention but when I came across this book wasn't sure if I would like it. To my surprise I kept wanting more. Now I need to listen to the other books in the series .....lol

Great story

Love the story, the sense of humor here and there and the way they both work together--and that I truly like him/her--though they do not say it out loud. I so enjoy this type of Murder/Mysteries novels and this hits it all!...on to book 2!

Enjoyable

Very interesting story line. Loved the characters. Narration was good. Looking forward to more stories.

A Deadly Affair

Really liked all the characters, Always enjoy historical cozy mysteries with a clean sprinkle of romance. I think this would make a great tv series like Miss Scarlet and the Duke.

Enjoyed the characters

Very fun listen looking forward to the next one.quite a spirited and curious lady. Would like to meet her.

Fantastic!

Such a fun read (listen). Great mystery and fabulous characters! So many laugh out loud moments. The reader was absolutely fantastic with so many great voices. Very much looking forward to book two!
