A Murder in Trinity Lane

Rosalynd and Steele Mysteries, Book 2

De: Magda Alexander

Narrado por: Kim Bretton

A forbidden passion. A dangerous secret. A truth some would kill for to keep buried.

London, 1889. Hoping society has moved on from the scandal that once shadowed her, Lady Rosalynd turns her attention to one of her most cherished causes—the Home for Unwed Mothers, a discreet refuge where poor, unmarried women can give birth in safety and dignity. But when one of the young women is found murdered in a dark alley off Trinity Lane, the fragile calm of Rosalynd’s aristocratic life is abruptly shattered.

Drawn into the case by a desperate plea, Rosalynd reluctantly turns to the one man she swore to keep at arm’s length—the enigmatic Duke of Steele. Brilliant, brooding, and far too perceptive for her comfort, Steele stirs emotions she has fought hard to suppress. Their uneasy alliance soon leads them deep into a tangled web of hidden pasts, threatened reputations, and powerful figures determined to protect their secrets—no matter the cost.

As pressure builds from both the high society drawing rooms and the shadows of power, Rosalynd must risk everything—her reputation, her safety, and a part of herself she never wished to surrender. In seeking justice, she may lose more than her good name. She may lose her heart.

A Murder in Trinity Lane, Book 2 in the Rosalynd & Steele Mysteries by USA Today bestselling author Magda Alexander, plunges listeners into a world of forbidden passions, deadly secrets, and Victorian suspense. Perfect for fans of historical mystery series featuring independent women sleuths, brooding dukes, and slow-burn romance, this Victorian historical mystery will keep listeners riveted until the final word.

Great story line and cast of characters.

Loved the story line and cast of characters. Left me wanting more. Looking forward to book 3.

Basic uncomplicated story

Enjoyable, good characters. Good pace. Sufficient twists without being overly complicated. Timeframe appropriate. Touchs of humor.

Delightful Read

Rosalind and Steele are magnificent characters, and the character and storyline development, as well as the mystery, are superbly done. However, Lady Petunia steals the show. Her visits to and interactions with the Duke of Steele are both hilarious and touching. I literally laugh out loud one moment and shed a few tears the next. Please don't change Petunia.

That said, I grow tired of the "I am never getting married" trope that seems to be the mantra of too many historical mysteries and do hope both Rosalynd and Steele move past it quickly. I know Petunia agrees.

Now comes the most difficult part - eagerly awaiting the next book.

The narration is excellently done, with distinct voices for each character that bring them to life.
