The Adventuress

A Lady Emily Mystery

By: Tasha Alexander

Narrated by: Bianca Amato

In The Adventuress, the next entry in the New York Times bestselling series by Tasha Alexander, Lady Emily Hargreaves travels to the south of France where an apparent suicide may be something far more sinister

Emily and husband Colin have come to the French Riviera for what should be a joyous occasion - the engagement arty of her lifelong friend Jeremy, Duke of Bainbridge, and Amity Wells, an American heiress. But the merrymaking is cut short with the shocking death of one of the party in an apparent suicide. Not convinced by the coroner's verdict, Emily must employ all of her investigative skills to discover the truth and avert another tragedy.

Critic reviews

“Author Tasha Alexander is one to watch--and read. . . . despite her cliffhanger climaxes and witty repartee, there's a depth of sensitivity which sets her apart.” —The Huffington Post on Dangerous to Know

“With wisps of darkness, shadows of a ghost story and embers of heightened Freudian themes, Dangerous to Know is the perfect novel to curl up with and chase away the world.” —Examiner.com

“Infused with wit and charm, with just the right amounts of danger, romance and detection blended in.” —Denver Post on Tears of Pearl

“[Tears of Pearl] will please readers of Anne Perry, Laurie R. King, and Deanna Raybourn seeking a new fan-favorite author.” —Library Journal on Tears of Pearl

“A thoroughly enjoyable adventure with both historical texture and emotional depth.” —Anne Perry, New York Times bestselling author on A Fatal Waltz

“Alexander's sweetly choreographed plot dances between her wonderfully drawn sleuth, Lady Ashton, and Victorian high society.” —Julie Spencer-Fleming, Edgar Award finalist and author of All Mortal Flesh on A Poisoned Season

“Alexander excels in depicting the social mores of a society uncomfortable with the independence of women, and deftly allows the plot to develop in tandem with Emily's growth.” —The Baltimore Sun on And Only to Deceive

A Wonderful Story

Again, Tasha Alexander shows her dexterity by weaving a story very unlike her previous novels. I really enjoy and look forward to the surprises she unveils in each of her books. I will be starting the next one shortly!

Not up to par, but still enjoyable.

I love this serious, but I agree with other reviewers- the characters just seemed different.

Very Entertaining!

Amazing the imagination of this fabulous author! Again have to note her incorporation of history that brings the story alive even more.

Even though I thought I had this figured out it was much more intricate with layers. Hope that Jeremy may finally find his match

Really good book!

Thoroughly enjoyed and I didn’t anticipate the ending as I usually do. Highly recommend it .

Excellent

Excellent as always but this one was perhaps my favorite so far. I was amazed at the restraint of these familiar characters and the grace they showed under duress.
