Murder at Ochre Court

A Gilded Newport Mystery, Book 6

De: Alyssa Maxwell

Narrado por: Lauren Ezzo

After a disappointing year as a society columnist for the Herald and staying with her more well-heeled Vanderbilt relatives in New York City, Emma has returned to the salty air, glittering ocean vistas, and grand stately mansions of Newport, Rhode Island, more determined than ever to report on hard news.

But for now she's covering the social event of the season at Ochre Court, a coming-out ball designed to showcase Cleo Cooper-Smith, who will be literally on display, fittingly as Cleopatra, in an elaborate tableau vivant. Recently installed modern electricity will allow Miss Cooper-Smith to truly shine. But as the deb ascends to her place of honor, the ballroom is plunged into darkness. When the lights come back on, Cleo sits still on her throne, electrocuted to death.

Quickly establishing that the wiring was tampered with, Emma now has a murder to investigate. And the array of eligible suspects could fill another ballroom—from a shady New York real estate developer to a neglected sister and the mother of a spurned suitor. As Emma begins to discover this crime has unseen connections to a nefarious network, she puts her own life at risk to shine a light on the dark motives behind a merciless murder.

Still keeps you guessing

These stories continue to keep my interest and guessing until the end. The narrator has improved and uses more inflection since her first recording of the previous book.

Enjoy the Mystery

I enjoyed this book. It was a fun read with lots of twists and turns.

A other winner !!!!

This authors work and wonderful engagement I suspect will be my number one best author of the yeat

The plot twists

.Not enough changes for the voices of the primary characters when it was for the male parts.

Great

Wow this had a stunning murder and story! I had a hard time taking a break because I was anxious to find out what was going on!

Cannot wait for the next

Too many characters

I really did not enjoy the book this time. I have listened to all the others. I think the narration sounded condescending, way too breathy, to the point of annoyance. The constant repetition of old material is very distracting. Way, way, way too many characters to follow.

Disappointed

I agree with the others that the new narrator/reader was disappointing. I sped up the audiobook to get through it. I won't be purchasing any more of the series.
