A Sinister Establishment

A Regency Cozy (A Beatrice Hyde-Clare Mystery, Book 6)

De: Lynn Messina

Narrado por: Jill Smith

The former Beatrice Hyde-Clare is having a little trouble adjusting to her new situation. Now installed as the duchess of Kesgrave in elegant splendor in Berkeley Square, she is confounded by the stately residence’s seemingly endless array of rooms.

And every time one of the maids addresses her as "your grace", she flinches. And the butler! Oh, yes, that imposing servant holds her in utter contempt and has no qualms about sharing his opinion with the rest of the staff.

It’s all so wretched.

But just as Bea begins to despair - a bright spot.

A neighboring house has suffered a ghastly tragedy, and although the constable deems it an inadvertent decapitation, she can’t believe anyone could be so careless as to accidentally lose his head.

Determined to discover the truth, the new duchess pays her first social call. Because even if she can’t find her way around her palatial home, she certainly knows her way around a murder.

Love Beatrice and Kesgrave!

Although it was a little slow in spots the banter between characters was excellent and the narrator perfect for the series.

intriguing book with many twists and turns.

Enjoyed the time period and the different heroine and how the stories
y unfolded then.

She Continues to be Amazing!

The title for this review applies to Bea, now Duchess, but also to Lynn Messina and Jill Smith. The story was delightful and the narration perfect, both things are always so.
Highly recommend this series!

Love this Series

Love the evolving relationship of Bea and the Duke! They are perfect for each other.

Another enjoyable murder from Lynn Messina

Jill Smith perfectly narrates this humorous escape from 2020. I’ve read all the books in this series with great pleasure. Keswick and Beatrice are well suited.
