Murder at the Seven Dials

Bow Street Duchess Mystery Series, Book 1

De: Cara Devlin

Narrado por: Allie Rose

A murdered opera singer. A duke drenched in her blood. For Bow Street Officer Hugh Marsden, the brutal killing is a straightforward case. Ever since his exile from polite society, the chance to arrest a high and mighty peer of the realm has never presented itself. Hugh won't snub the opportunity now.

But Audrey Sinclair, the Duchess of Fournier, is certain her husband is wrongly accused, and she's determined to prove it to the arrogant Bow Street officer, even if she must employ her most peculiar ability—or perhaps curse—to guide her investigation. After all, a duchess can do as she pleases.

Exasperated with the meddling duchess, Hugh is convinced she is protecting her own secrets, and the duke's. But when Audrey's discoveries persuade him to believe the true killer is still at large, he has no choice but to join her in the hunt—if only to keep her from becoming the next victim.

5 stars

Murder at the 7 Dials is an entertaining cozy mystery with engaging ngaging characters and an entertaining plot. I look forward to the next book.

A well written mystery with interesting character development

Initially, I wasn’t sure I was going to like this kind of story. The description definitely should’ve said that the main character is some sort of psychic. But I ended up getting quite invested in the characters and their past stories. I look forward to the next one.

Overall, the narrator did a good job.I didn’t love her choice of making the women’s voices so whiny/nasally, but I think it helped a lot that I sped it up a bit. (x1.1)

Interesting look at the ton & working life

Really enjoyed seeing both the Ton & working class folks through these two characters. The supernatural aspect is written in a believable way & the chemistry between the two main characters is palpable. Enjoyed the twist at the end as well regarding the murder. Super well done! Can’t wait to read/listen to the rest of the series!

Mystery Maven

What an interesting wrinkle. Good mystery, good narration of all the characters, and then the secrets: or should I call them twists. So I’m going for the next book to see how the twists develop. Recommend, take the chance, nicely done.

Loved the books! I also love the audible now.

This series has been my new fave and I was super happy to see the audible come up for book one. I really enjoyed the narration, and the only downside is it makes me want the next books right now! Interesting mystery, some oh no don't do that and the beginnings of smolder in a slow burn romance.
