Murder at the Merton Library

A Wrexford & Sloane Mystery, Book 7

By: Andrea Penrose

Narrated by: James Cameron Stewart

Responding to an urgent plea from a troubled family friend, the Earl of Wrexford journeys to Oxford only to find the reclusive university librarian has been murdered and a rare manuscript has gone missing. The only clue is that someone overheard an argument in which Wrexford's name was mentioned.

At the same time, Charlotte—working under her pen name, A. J. Quill—must determine whether a laboratory fire was arson and if it's connected to the race between competing consortiums to build a new type of ship—one that can cross the ocean powered by steam rather than sails—with the potential to revolutionize military power and world commerce. That the race involves new innovations in finance and entrepreneurship only adds to the high stakes—especially as their good friend Kit Sheffield may be an investor in one of the competitors.

As they delve deeper into the baffling clues, Wrexford and Charlotte begin to realize that things are not what they seem. An evil conspiracy is lurking in the shadows and threatens all they hold dear—unless they can tie the loose threads together before it's too late . . .

Family first

The healing of people through family has been alive forever, no matter the circumstances. Thank you for the reminder.

Great narrator!

This is my 6th book in this series and I truly love how each builds on the next. Fun, English murder mysteries!

Love this series

I love the fact that there's more "mystery" and "crime solving" than murders in these books. There are murders, But they are more "civilized" than in other crime/mysteries I listen to. I needed something more civilized after a lot of far too horrid such books. So glad I've found this series which is fun to follow.

Fun read

Engaging story and great character development in the series. I’m looking forward to the next book.
