A Whisper in the Shadows

Raven and Wren, Book 4

By: Darcy Burke

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard, Raphael Corkhill

A fake marriage. A supernatural secret. A deadly game of deception.

Private investigator Matilda Wren is posing as the wife of Inspector William Maxwell from the City of London Police to infiltrate a burial club scheme. Maxwell is a skilled detective, but he isn't Hadrian—her usual ally and the man she trusts most. When the club's administrator is murdered, Tilda needs Hadrian's expertise, notably his uncanny ability to glimpse others' memories.

Disgruntled that he's been cast aside as Tilda's partner, Hadrian Becket, Earl of Ravenhurst, finds a way to involve himself, which is fortuitous because Tilda would like his help. However, working the case under Maxwell's watchful eye is a challenge, especially when he must conceal his supernatural gift. Worse, Maxwell's growing interest in Tilda stirs something unexpected in Hadrian: jealousy.

When danger strikes far too close, Hadrian will do everything it takes to keep Tilda safe, even if it means revealing the secrets he's kept hidden in the shadows.

From USA Today bestselling author Darcy Burke comes an immersive Victorian mystery series featuring a strong, determined investigator, Miss Matilda Wren, and her partner in solving crimes, Hadrian Becket, the Earl of Ravenhurst, who, after a near-death experience, suffers visions that make him question his sanity. From the meanest streets of London's East End to the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair, join Tilda and Hadrian as they work together to answer unending questions and secure justice.

Great narration, good plot!

I like this series. The narrators are excellent and the plot was interesting. Good read!

A whisper in the shadows

I really enjoy the narration. The investigative duo and dramatic atmosphere are a most entertaining.

Really really good!

Quite a few characters to keep track off but it was a great mystery. Not easy to figure out the culprit. And I’m really looking forward to the next story and Tilda is warming up to Hadrian!
Only heard Raphael swallow once, things are looking up👍🏽

Perfect blend of romance and mystery

Oh Hadrian is down bad for our Tilda and I am so here for it! I’m loving these mysteries and the slow burn romance. The pacing of their relationship is perfect to me. The audiobooks are fantastic, I hope they release the next two soon!

Love this series! Clean. Well-developed mystery.

All the twists and turns of murder investigations, compelling characters who keep the killer(s) identity shifting, make this a very difficult story to put down. The two narrators add detailed interest to the developing storyline. Complex. Unassuming, strong heroine. Harrowing adventures
