A sinister murder. An impossible alliance. A scandal-ridden investigation.

London, 1889. Lady Rosalynd, a fervent champion of women’s rights, is no stranger to challenging the status quo. But when a brutal murder casts suspicion on Rosalynd’s beloved cousin and implicates the enigmatic Duke of Steele's brother, her fiercely guarded independence is put to the ultimate test.

Bound by necessity, Steele proposes a partnership as implausible as it is inevitable. Driven by the urgent need to vindicate her cousin, Rosalynd agrees. As they move from the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair to the perilous streets of St. Giles, they unravel a complex web of deceit surrounding the murder victim. When each revelation further implicates her cousin, Rosalynd embarks on more dangerous pursuits. Will her actions lead them to the killer or ensnare her in a deadly trap?

Well written historic mystery and romance

Cast members were well played and believable. A well written plot and script with an interesting plot and likable characters.

Can hardly wait til the next book

Admirable characters. Fast moving plot. Well written and enough of a cliff hanger to pull you in and anxious for the next chapter

Fun, fast paced COZY mystery.

Really enjoyed this audio... it was brilliantly performed and I listened to it straight through. Kim Bretton has come to be a favorite narrator as she puts on a full cast performance as a solo narrator.

The story was a pleasant surprise. if you enjoy good storytelling, likable characters and lighthearted (the murder's existence off page is the grittiest element of this book) cozy mystery, pick this one up. I don't usually go in for the fluffy cozy mysteries, I like a little more realism in my stories, but this one proved to be quite fun. The FMC and MMC were both likable and had a decent level of chemistry. Looking forward to the next!

Great cozy historical escape mystery

Thoroughly enjoyed the setting, the atmosphere, the characters and mystery! Please, please record the remaining 3 in the series!

Not worth your time

Silly and predictable. I didn’t care for the first person narrative either. I won’t listen to additional books in this series.
