Murder at the Foundling Hospital

A Tate and Bell Mystery, Book 3

De: Irina Shapiro

Narrado por: Imogen Church

Gemma’s boots slip on uneven ground and her black cape catches in the wind as she runs. “Please, not Lucy,” she prays.

Nurse Gemma Tate is heartbroken when she hears that one of her young charges at the Foundling Hospital has been killed. She knows that police inspector Sebastian Bell will work tirelessly to uncover the truth, but obstructed by the curt matron, he’ll need her help navigating the cloistered world of the orphanage.

The mystery thickens when Sebastian finds a small wooden doll clutched in the murdered girl’s hand and Gemma hears whispers of a shadowy romance. But that isn’t the darkest secret hidden behind the high hospital walls. As time runs down on the investigation, Gemma won’t give up. But could the shocking discovery she makes be her last?

A gripping gaslit Victorian mystery, perfect for fans of Andrea Penrose, the Lady Sherlock mysteries, and Miss Scarlet and the Duke.

Murder Mystery

Liked the mystery,but it was slow to develop. Can't wait too read the next book in the series.

I stuck it out to the end but it was sheer determination!

My goodness but this one moved slowly! Too much minutiae & detail. Though I loved the Crimea nursing connection, it was hard to keep plodding on. And could the romance between the inspector &!the nurse move any slower…? I think not.

Love the series

I love the Tate and Bell series! Great characters, interesting plots and slow burn romance. Excited for the 4th book.

Keeps you on the edge of your chair

Great drama, mystery and intrigue as clues keep you listening intently trying to come up with all the possible endings that could be in store! Another great murder mystery by this very talented author, assisted by a spectacular narrator! Don't miss this one!

Another good story

I love this authors twisted tales and this one didn’t disappoint. My only issue is with the awful narration - her male voices are horrible !

Kept me guessing!

Loved the plot line, fairly unpredictable however quite a few lose threads at the end and not the most satisfactory ending…

Ms Shapiro writes very mysterious mysteries!

I have to admit the mysteries are very hard to figure out!

Gemma is pretty clever, and Inspector Bell owes her a lot lol. However the complete resistance of Every Single Character is getting old. Did people really not care about finding murderers and bringing them to justice? Ms Church’s spot on narration maybe is too spot on, haha, because I can’t take any more whiney obstacles to Bell’s investigations.

I listened to these first three all in a row. Glad there were no murdered unborn babies in this last story! Also no preview of the next story, which is fine with me lol.

I’m going to take a break for bit, but overall I like and am invested in the series.

Surprising twist at the end!

This was another great mystery in this series. I hope Gemma and Sebastian’s love story progresses and that she adopts Lucy.

Best book series and narrator ever!

My favorite narrator coupled with my favorite book series!!! Loved every minute of this book! Can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Just love

I really like this series. You know you do when you impatiently wait for the next book the moment you finish the previous.
